Question

Julie planted a rectangular garden that is 20 feet long. She placed 56 feet of fencing around her garden. Draw and label a sketch of her garden.

Answer 1

First draw a rectangle. Label the longer sides as 20 feet long each. 20 + 20 = 40. that means there is 16 feet of fencing left for the shorter sides. This means that each of the shorter sides is 8 feet long
