Answer:
The dimensions of the garden are 22.5ft by 27.5ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the dimensions of the garden.
let the length be x ft
we are told that the he wants the length to be 5 feet more than the width;
That means the width will be (x-5) ft
Mathematically;
Since the shape is rectangular, the perimeter will be 2( l + w)
Thus; 2(x + x-5) = 100
2(2x-5) = 100
divide both sides by 2
2x-5 = 50
2x = 50 + 5
2x = 55
x = 55/2
x = 27.5 ft
The width is thus; 27.5ft - 5ft = 22.5ft
the dimensions of the garden are 27.5 ft by 22.5 ft
