Question

Suzanne is putting a fence around her rectangular garden. The length of the garden, x, is 4 feet more than the width. The perimeter of the garden is 32 feet. Write an equation to find the length of the garden.
Enter the correct answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

Length=10 feet

Width=6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width (W) of the garden is x feet

Then Length=L=4+x feet

Perimeter=P=2(W + L)

P=2(x+x+4)

32=4x+8

4x=32-8

x=24/4=6 feet

W=6 feet

L=10 feet
