Answer 2

Answer:

length of the garden is 27.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Marcel Park is weeding the rectangular vegetable garden. The garden has an area of 599.5 square feet.

To Find: If the garden is 22 feet wide,how long is the garden.

Solution:

Area of Garden is $= 599.5$ square feet

width of garden is $= 22$ feet

We know that,

As garden is rectangular

Area of garden is $= \text{length}\times\text{width}$

putting values in equation,

$599.5 = 22\times\text{length}$

$\text{length}=\frac{599.5}{22}$

$\text{length}=27.25$

Therefore the length of the garden is $27.25$ $\text{feet}$
