Answer:
The width of the garden is 25 feet
The length of the garden is 60 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle
= P = 2L + 2W
Where L = Length, W = Width
The length of the garden is 10 feet more than twice its width.
P = 170
L = 2W + 10
Hence,
170 = 2(2W + 10) + 2W
170 = 4W + 20 + 2W
Collect like terms
170 - 20 = 6W
150 = 6W
W = 150/6
W = 25 feet
The width of the garden is 25 feet
Remember
L = 2W + 10
L = 2(25) + 10
L = 50 + 10
L = 60 feet
The length of the garden is 60 feet
