Question

Tony and Edwin each built a rectangular garden. Tony’s garden is 4 feet longer and 5 feet wider than Edwin’s garden. If the perimeter of Edwin’s garden is 36 feet, what is the perimeter of Tony’s garden?

Answer 1

First look at the in for on Tony's garden, it is equal to 2(w) and 2(L) as Edwins Garden. Second. Look at Edwins Garden. The area is is 600 sq ft. and we know that Area is the formula A = L(w) so the equation for Edwin is 600 = L(W) If Tonys garden is 2(L) and 2(w) then it is 4 times the size of Edwins. So 600 times 4 equals 2400.
