Question

In a community garden shown to the right you want to plan a fence in a vegetable garden that is adjacent to your friends Garden you have at most 44 ft of fence and the fence must around all four sides of your garden what is the possible lengths of your garden ​

Answer 1

Length of the garden = 13 ft

Width of the garden = 9 ft

Explanation:

Let the length of my new garden = l ft

It's given in the question,

width of the garden = 9 ft

Formula to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle is,

P = 2(L + W)

Where L = length of the garden

W = width of the garden

P = perimeter of the garden

Length of the fence = 44 ft

By substituting values in the formula,

44 = 2(l + 9)

22 = l + 9

l = 22 - 9

l = 13 ft

Therefore, length of my new garden = 13 ft

Width of the garden = 9 ft
