Let's assume

length of rectangle =L

width of rectangle =W

You enclose 3 sides of the garden with 40 feet of fencing

so, we get

L+2W=40

now, we can solve for L

L=40-2W

we know that

area of rectangle is

A=L*W

100=L*W

now, we can plug

100=(40-2W)*W

now, we can solve for W

-2W^2+40W-100=0

we can use quadratic formula

W=\frac{-40+\sqrt{40^2-4\left(-2\right)\left(-100\right)}}{2\left(-2\right)}

W=\frac{-40-\sqrt{40^2-4\left(-2\right)\left(-100\right)}}{2\left(-2\right)}

we can take anyone value ..because both are giving positive value

first dimensions:

W=2.929

now, we can find L

L=40-2*2.929

L=34.142

so, length is 34.142feet

width is 2.929 feet

Second dimensions:

W=17.071

now, we can find L

L=40-2*17.071

L=5.858

so, length is 5.858feet

width is 17.071 feet
