If the perimeter of his garden measures
60 ft, what is the length of one of the
sides, x?

Answer 1

If the perimeter of the garden is 60 feet and the sides be X,16,20,X , then the value of X is 12 feet.

Given that the length sides be X,16 feet, 20 feet , X and the perimeter of the garden be 60 feet.

We are required to find the value of X which is the length of a side of garden.

Perimeter is basically the sum of the lengths of all the sides if a figure.

Perimeter of garden=X+16+20+X

Perimeter=2X+36

Perimeter is given be 60 feet.

60=2X+36

2X=60-36

2X=24

X=24/2

X=12

Hence if the perimeter of the garden is 60 feet and the sides be X,16,20,X , then the value of X is 12 feet.
