Answer:
9 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
Width of rectangular flower garden, w = 4 m
Perimeter of rectangular flower garden, p = 26 m
To find:
Length of Lisa's flower garden = ?
Solution:
First of all, let us understand perimeter, length and width of a rectangle.
Let ABCD be a rectangle. Please refer to the attached image.
Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal to each other.
AB = CD = Length
Let the length be [tex]l[/tex] m.
BC = DA = Width = 4 m
Perimeter of a closed image is equal to the sum of all the sides of the image.
So, perimeter of ABCD:
[tex]p = AB + BC + CD + DA \\\Rightarrow \bold{ p = 2 \times (Length +Width)}[/tex]
[tex]26 = 2 \times (l +4)\\\Rightarrow 2l =26-8\\\Rightarrow \bold{l = 9 m}[/tex]
