Question

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 62 feet( remember, perimeter= 2l + 2w where l is the length and w is the width). The length is 1 foot more than twice the width. The length of the garden is ____feet The width of the garden is ____feet

Answer 1

Answer:

w=10 feet

l=21feet

Step-by-step explanation:

let width be x

p=2l+2w

p=62

so we form the equation

l=1+2x

w=x

2(1+2x)+2(x)=62

2+4x+2x=62

6x=60

x=10feet

w=10feet

l=1+2x

l=21feet
