A city park commission received a donation of playground equipment from a parents' organization. The area of the playground need
s to be 256 square yards for the children to use it safely. The playground will be rectangular.
The city will also put a fence around the playground. The perimeter, P, of the fence includes the gates. To save money, the city wants the least perimeter of fencing for the area of 256 square yards.
Jovana was trying to find a formula for that perimeter with one side 8 yards longer than the other side using the area. In which step did she make a mistake? Explain her mistake and give the correct formula.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x------> the number of pink roses bushes
y----> the number of white rose bushes
we know that
-----> equation A
substitute the value of x in the equation A
Answer:
(1)
And we know that the lenght is y = 20.3. If we solve for x from equation (1) we got:
And replacing we got:
And the width for this case would be 15.8 in
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we know that the photo is rectangular. Let's define:
x = the width, y= the length
And we know that the perimeter is given by:
(1)
And we know that the lenght is y = 20.3. If we solve for x from equation (1) we got:
And replacing we got:
And the width for this case would be 15.8 in
