Question

Juile planted a rectangular garden that is 20 feet long. She placed 56 feet of fencing around her garden. Draw and label a sketch of her garden what is the width of her garden? What is the area?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

She placed 56 feet of fencing around her garden. This means that the perimeter of the garden is 56 feet. If the length of the rectangular garden is 20 feet, i means that

2(20 + W) = 56

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

20 + W = 28

W = 28 - 20

W = 8 feet

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

Therefore,

Area = 8 × 20 = 160 square feet
