Question

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 346 feet. If the width of the garden is 77 feet, what is the length?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, recall the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:

$P=2width+2length.$

Substituting the given data, you get:

$346ft=2(77ft)+2length.$

Solving for the length you get:

$\begin{gathered} 346ft-2(77ft)=2length, \\ 192ft=2length, \\ length=\frac{192ft}{2}=96ft. \end{gathered}$

Answer:

$96ft.$
