Question

Jorge uses 114ft of fencing to enclose a rectangular garden whose length is 21 ft longer than its width. What are the dimensions of the garden?

Answer 1

Answer:

Width = 18

Length= 39

Step-by-step explanation:

side 1 = w (width)

side 2 = w (width)

side 3 = w+21(length)

side 4 = w+21 (length)

total= 114

above gets turned into 4w + 42 = 114

subtract 42 from each side to get

4w = 72

72/4=18

w=18

so plug that in to what we started with

Width = 18

Length= 39
