The length of side of garden are 76 feet and 49 feet
Solution:
Given that, Elias has decided to fence in a garden that is in the shape of a parallelogram
Measure of one side = 76 feet
250 ft of fencing is needed to enclose the garden
Therefore, perimeter = 250
The perimeter of parallelogram is given by:
Perimeter = 2(a + b)
Where, a and b are the length of sides
Here, a = 76
b = ?
Substituting in formula, we get
250 = 2(76 + b)
250 = 152 + b
2b = 250 - 152
2b = 98
b = 49
Thus the length of side of garden is 49 feet
