Question

A rectangular garden is 2.5 times as long as it is wide. It has a perimeter of 168 ft. How long and how wide is the garden?

Answer 1

Answer:

Wide = 24 Ft... Long = 60 Ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = wide therefore length = 2.5x

perimeter = 168 ft

perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + wide) = 2(2.5x + x)

68 = 2(2.5x + x)

84 = 3.5x

x = 24
