Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since x represents the length in feet, and the width is 2 ft shorter than 3 times the length, the width is 3x-2.
The perimeter is twice the sum of length and width, so we can write the equation ...
76 = 2(x + (3x-2))
38 = 4x -2 . . . . . divide by 2, simplify
40 = 4x . . . . . . . .add 2
10 = x . . . . . . . . . the length of the garden is 10 ft
The width of the garden is ...
3·10 -2 = 28 . . . feet
The width of the garden is 28 feet.
3x=-13+1
3x = - 12
x = -12/3
x= -4

m∠1 = 25° (opposite angles are congruent)
m∠2 = 87° ⇒ 180 - (25 + 68)
m∠3 = 68° ⇒ 180 - (87 + 25)
Hope this helps!
