Question

A rectangular flower garden in Samantha's backyard has 220 feet around its edge. The width of the garden is 50 feet. What is the length of the garden? The length of the garden is feet.

Answer 1

Answer: 60 ft

Explanation:

Given

The perimeter of the garden is
`220\ ft`

The width of the garden is
`50\ ft`

Suppose the length of the garden is
`x`

Perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the sides

`\Rightarrow 220=2(x+50)\\\Rightarrow 110=x+50\\\Rightarrow x=60\ ft`

So, the length of the garden is
`60\ ft`
