The perimeter of a rectangular
garden is 56 ft. The length is 4 ft
more than the width. What are the
dimensions of the garden?

Respuesta :

Answer:

length = 16 ft

width = 12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Width:

[tex]2(x+4)+2x=56[/tex]

[tex]2x+8+2x=56[/tex]

[tex]4x+8=56[/tex]

[tex]4x=56-8[/tex]

[tex]4x=48[/tex]

[tex]x=48/4[/tex]

[tex]x=12ft[/tex]

Length:

length = 4 ft more than width

length = [tex]4+12[/tex]

length = [tex]16ft[/tex]
