Question

The length of the garden is 10 feet more than twice its width. The perimeter of the garden is 170 feet.

What are the length and width of the garden?

Answer 1

Width is 25 ft

length is 60 ft

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the length and width of the garden

From the question, we are told that the length is 10 ft more than twice its width

So if the width is x ft

Length = 2x + 10

Mathematically, the perimeter of a rectangle i s 2(l + b)

So;

2(x + 2x + 10) = 170

2(3x + 10) = 170

3x + 10 = 85

3x = 85-10

3x = 75

x = 75/3

x = 25 ft

length is;

2(25) + 10 = 50 + 10 = 60 ft
