UNO [17]3 years ago

President Grover Cleveland was the only US President to serve in two non-consecutive terms (From 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897). During his presidency, he vetoed a bill who proposed granting pensions to Civil War Union veterans, as well as the Dependent Pension Bill who would grant a pension to anyone serving in the military for more than 90 days. He argued that many claims would be fraudulent. 

President Cleveland assumed office during a critical time for the country, as it was passing through a severe economic depression. These decisions of vetoing pensions followed his policy of austerity.

One length of a rectangular garden lies along a patio wall however the rest of the garden is enclosed by 36 feet of fencing if t
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

162 feet²

Explanation:

One length of a rectangular garden lies along a patio wall.​ However, the rest of the garden is enclosed by 36 feet of fencing. If the length of the garden is twice its​ width, what is the area of the​ garden?

Solution:

Let x represent the length of the garden and y represent the width of the garden. Since the length of the garden is twice its​ width, hence:

x = 2y

Since 36 feet of fencing was used to enclose the rest of the building:

x + y + y = 36

x + 2y = 36

Substitute x = 2y:

2y + 2y = 36

4y = 36

y = 36 / 4

y = 9 feet

Substitute y = 9 to find x:

x = 2y = 2(9) = 18 feet

Therefore the length of the fence is 18 feet and the width is 9 feet.

The area of the garden = length * width = 18 feet * 9 feet = 162 feet²
