Question

Hi! can someone please answer this question

Answer 1

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of length and width, so the sum of length and width is 360 meters.

360 m - 160 m = 200 m

The width of the garden is 200 meters.


_____
Of course, you know that 1 km = 1000 m, so 0.72 km = 720 m.

Answer 2

Hello! 

In order to find the answer to the question, we can begin by converting the measurements into one common unit. In this case, we can convert 0.72km to 720 meters, which will make the final calculation a bit easier. 

The formula to find the perimeter of the garden is L2+W2. 

The length is 160 meters, so we can multiply this by two to find a portion of the rectangle. 

160 x 2 = 320

Now, we can subtract 320 from the total number: 720

720 - 320 = 400

To find the width, we simply now need to divide 400 by 2. 

$\frac{400}{2}$ = 200

The width of the garden is 200 meters. 

I hope this helps you! Have a wonderful day!
