The length of the fencing is 62.4 feet.
The width of the fencing is 17.6 feet.
Given,
The measurement of the Christmas garland = 160 feet
The width of the fencing = w
The length of the fencing, l = 4w - 8
We have to find the length and width of the fencing.
Here,
Perimeter can be taken as 160. Because garland will cover the entire fencing.
Perimeter = 2(l + w)
160 = 2(4w - 8 + w)
160 = 2(5w - 8)
160/2 = 5w - 8
80 + 8 = 5w
88/5 = w
width = 17.6 feet
Now,
l = 4w - 8
l = 4 × 17.6 - 8
l = 70.4 - 8
length = 62.4 feet
That is,
The length of the fencing is 62.4 feet.
The width of the fencing is 17.6 feet.
