Answer:

The length of the yard is 60 feet while the width is 30 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of Mr. Timmon's backyard is double the width, then the dimensions are related by the following expression:

length = 2*width

We also know the perimetter, since he has the exact length of fence to surround his whole yard, which is 180 feet. The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

perimeter = 2*length + 2*width

Therefore,

180 = 2*length + 2*width

With the length being double the width, we have:

180 = 2*(2*width) + 2*width

180 = 4*width + 2*width

6*width = 180

width = 180/6 = 30

length = 2*width = 2*30 = 60

The length of the yard is 60 feet while the width is 30 feet.

hoa [83]
<span>Let us use the variable x for length. So width will be 1/2x + 3. Perimeter = x+x+ 1/2x + 3 +1/2x + 3 = 3x + 6 = 66 Therefore 3x = 66-6 = 60 So x = 60/3 = 20 The length is 20 cm. Therefore the width = 1/2 of 20 + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13 cm Check: 20+20+13+13 = 66</span>
