Question

A rectangular garden is fenced all sides with 200 feet of fencing the garden is 2 feet longer than it is wide what is the width of the garden

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the fence = the perimeter of the rectangle = 200 ft.

and the perimeter of a rectangle is

perimeter = 2×length + 2×width

length = width + 2

so,

200 = 2×(width + 2) + 2×width = 2×width + 4 + 2×width

196 = 4×width

width = 196/4 = 49 ft
