Question

There is a sidewalk of width x around a rectangular garden. If the garden measures twenty-feet by thirty-feet, then the combined area of the garden and sidewalk is

Answer 1

Answer:

Area = 200 + 50 + x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length = 20

Width = 30

Side Walk = x

Required

Determine the area.

To do this we need to get the new worth and length by adding the length of the sidewalk.

This gives:

Length = 20 + x.

Width = 30 + x

So, area becomes.

Area = (20 + x)(30 + x)

Area = 600 + 20x + 30x + x²

Area = 200 + 50 + x²
