Question

PLEASE HELP!!

Joseph wants to plant gloxinia and hydrangeas in two similar rectangular gardens. The length of one garden is 5 ft, and the width is 4 ft. The other garden's length is 20 ft. What is the width of the second garden?​

Answer 1

width = 1 ft

Explanation:

"Similar" means same area.

Therefore area of first garden = area of second garden.

Let x be the width of the second garden.

5x4 = 20x

x = 1 ft
