Question

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 260 m. If the length of the garden is 72 m, what is the width?

Answer 1

Length 72m
Perimeter 260 solve for with
With = 58 m

Prove =(58*2)+(72+72)=260m

L=2w+6 and 2w+2L=72.
Two equations and two unknown variables. Simplify the perimeter equation first. Use substitution for L.
