Answer:

a = 33ft

b= 66ft

c = 48 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • a (shortest side)= a
  • b (second side)=2a (twice the length of the shortest side)
  • c (third side)= a+15 ( 15 feet more than the length of the shortest side)

Since:  

Perimeter = a+b+c

Replacing with the values given:

147 = a+2a+(a+15)

147 = a+2a+a+15

147-15 = a+2a+a

132 = 4a

132/4 = a

33 ft= a  

Substituting a =33 in the other expressions:

b=2a = 2(33) = 66 ft

c= a+15 = 33+15 = 48 ft

The length of a rectangle is twice the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 60 units, find the area of the garden.​
AlexFokin [52]
Perimeter = (length+width) x 2


Let w units be the width of the rectangle.

Length of the rectangle = 2w

Perimeter:
(2w+w) x 2 = 60

(3w)2 = 60

6w = 60

w = 10


Area:
2(10) x 10

= 20 x 10

= 200 units
