A garden is shaped like a rectangle whose perimeter is 260 ft. The length is 9 times as long as the width. Find the length and the width

Answer:

The length is 117 ft and the width is 13 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question itself, we can write down the following equations...

(Let "P" be the perimeter of the rectangle, Let "L" be the length, and let "W" be the width, then...)

L = 9W

and

P = 2L + 2W

Now, we substatute the "L" value and get...

P = 2L + 2W

260 = 2(9W) + 2W

260 = 20W

W = 260 / 20

W = 13

Since we know the width we can now find the length by using the very first formula...

L = 9W

L = 9(13)

L = 117

Therefore, the length is 117 ft and the width is 13 ft.
