Your dad is designing a new garden for your backyard. He has 20 feet of fencing to go around the garden. He wants the length of
Komok [63]

Answer:

Length = 6.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Your dad is designing a new garden for your backyard. He has 20 feet of fencing to go around the garden.

Let the width is x.

Length is 2 1/2 feet longer than the width i.e. (x+2 1/2) = (x+2.5) feet

Perimeter = 20 feet

2(l+b) = 20

(l+b) = 10

(x+2.5+x) = 10

2x+2.5 = 10

2x = 7.5

x = 3.75 feet

Length = (x+2.5)

= (3.75+2.5)

= 6.25 feet

So, the length of the garden is 6.25 feet.
