Question

The length of a rectangular garden is 9ft longer than its width . The gardens perimeter is 182 feet . Find the length of the garden .

Answer 1

Let, width = x, length = x+9

perimeter = 2(l+w)

=2(x+x+9)=182

=2(2x+9)=182

=4x+18 = 182

=4x = 164

=x = 41

Length would be (x+9) = 41+9 = 50 ft
