The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 9696 meters. The length is 6 meters longer than twice the width. Find the dimensions of
1 answer:
length = 3234 m and width = 1614 m
let the width = w then length = 2w + 6
Perimeter = 2 ( length + width )
= 2 (2w + 6 + w ) = 2 ( 3w + 6 ) = 6w + 12
given perimeter = 9696 the equating gives
6w + 12 = 9696
subtract 12 from both sides
6w = 9696 - 12 = 9684
divide both sides by 6
w = = 1614
width = 1614 m and length = (2 × 1614 ) + 6 = 3234 m
