Question

The jones family is landscaping their yard. Their yard is 160 square feet and one side is 10 feet long. What is the length of the other side of the yard? If they plant 3 bushes that need to be 3 feet apart and 3 feet away from the fence around the yard will they have the space?

Answer 1

Answer:

16 feet is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the yard is given as = 160 square feet

One side is given as 10 feet.

The area of the rectangle is = length x width

Let the other side be = x

So, $160=10\times x$

$x=\frac{160}{10}$ = 16 feet

Hence, length is 16 feet and width is 10 feet.

Yes, they will have enough space as 3 bushes will need 3*4=12 feet space and the length is already 16 feet.

Answer 2

The equation for area is A=l*w
160=10*x (divide out the 10)
x=16

Yes they will. Three bushes will need 12ft. and the longer side is 16ft.
