The expressions for the length and the width of the rectangular garden are 3x + 2 feet, and x + 5 feet respectively where x is the length of the square patch for tomatoes.

A square is a quadrilateral with all four sides equal, and all four angles at 90°, whereas a rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposite pair of sides equal, and all four angles at 90°.

In the question, we are informed that Melissa is planning a rectangular vegetable garden with a square patch for tomatoes.

The side of the square is given to be x feet.

We are asked to write expressions for the length and width of the rectangular garden.

For the length of the rectangle:-

We are informed that she wants the length of the garden to exceed three times the length of the tomato patch by 2 feet.

Thus, the length of the garden can be shown as the expression 3x + 2 feet.

For the width of the rectangle:-

We are informed that she also wants the garden's width to exceed the width of the tomato patch by 5 feet.

Thus, the width of the garden can be shown as the expression x + 5 feet.

Thus, the expressions for the length and the width of the rectangular garden are 3x + 2 feet, and x + 5 feet respectively where x is the length of the square patch for tomatoes.
