the perimeter of a rectangular garden is 54 feet. the width is 5 more feet than the length. what is the length of the garden?

Sagot :

Answer:

length of garden = 11 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter (P) of a rectangle is calculated as

• P = 2( length + width)

let l be the length, then width is l + 5 ( 5 feet more than length )

given P = 54 , then

2(l + l + 5) = 54

2(2l + 5) = 54 ( divide both sides by 2 )

2l + 5 = 27 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

2l = 22 ( divide both sides by 2 )

l = 11

That is the length of the garden is 11 feet
