Answer:
9m ×5m
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle= length ×width
Let the width be W meters and the length be L meters.
2 equations can be written from the given information:
45= WL -----(1)
L= W +4 -----(2)
Substitute (2) into (1):
45= W(W +4)
Expand:
45= W² +4W
-45 on both sides:
W² +4W -45= 0
Factorise:
(W +9)(W -5)= 0
W+9=0 or W-5=0
W= -9 or W= 5
(reject)
Substitute W= 5 into (2):
L= 5 +4
L= 9
∴ The dimensions of the garden is 9m ×5m.
