Question

Claire is putting up a fence around her rectangular garden. The length is four less than double the width. The perimeter is 22 feet. Find the dimensions of the garden.

PLZ ANSWER THIS FAST, ITS NOT ABOUT THE POINTS.

Answer 1

The dimensions are 6 by 5 feet.

Length = 6 feet.

Width = 5 feet.

Explanation:

Let the length = L

Let the width = W

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;

L = 2W - 4 ........equation 1

22 = 2L + 2W .......equation 2

Substituting the value of "L" into equation 2, we have;

22 = 2(2W - 4) + 2W

22 = 4W - 8 + 2W

22 + 8 = 6W

30 = 6W

W = 30/6

Width, W = 5 feet.

To find the length, L

Substituting the value of "W" into equation 1, we have;

L = 2W - 4

L = 2(5) - 4

L = 10-4

Length, L =6 feet

Therefore, the dimensions of the garden are 6 by 5 feet.
