5 (x - 4) = 3x + 4
5x - 20 = 3x + 4
5x - 3x = 4 + 20
2x = 24
x = 12

A rectangular lawn is 2 m longer than it is wide.

Let's breadth be x

Length be x+2

ATQ

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x(x+2)=21$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x^2+2x=21$

Use completing the square method

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 4(x^2+2x)=4(21)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 4x^2+8x=84$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto (2x)^2+2(2x)(2)=84$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto (2x)^2+2(2x)(2)+2^2=2^2+84$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto (2x+2)^2=88$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x+2=\pm\sqrt{88}$

As it's dimensions we will take positive

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x+2\approx 9.7$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x=9.7-2=7.7$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=3.8$

x+2=3.8+2=5.8

Now

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Perimeter=2(L+B)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto perimeter=2(3.8+5.8)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto perimeter=2(9.6)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Perimeter=19.2m$

Length of 1 strip=13m

Total strips

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{19.2}{13}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 1.47strips$

She needs 2 strips

1/2

If you spilt one shape in half you will have two halves. The whole shape represents 100% and when you split it in half, into two pieces, you will have two 50% pieces.
Therefore the correct answer will be 1/2.
