Question

a rectangular garden is 47 ft longer than it is wide. its perimeter is 314 ft. what is the equation to describe the width and lenght of the garden?

Answer 1

the perimeter = 2 length + 2 width 

the length = the width +47

314 = 2*(w+47) +2w

314 = 2w +94 +2w

220 =4w

w= 220/4 = 55

l = 55+47 = 102

the length = 102 ft

the width = 55 ft 

hope helped
