A rectangular flower garden in Samantha’s backyard has 260 feet around its edge the with garden is 60 What is the length of the garden

Answer 1

What he said 70ft : /

Answer 2

70 ft

Explanation:

260 feet around its edge means perimeter

P = 2(l+w)

Width = 60

260 = 2( l+60)

Divide each side by 2

260/2 = 2/2(l+60)

130 = l+60

Subtract 60 from each side

130-60 = l+60-60

70 = l

The length is 70 ft
