Don fenced in a rectangular garden in his yard. The length of the rectangle is 5 feet longer than the width and the perimeter is 62 feet. What is the width of the rectangle?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(L + W)
\n" ); document.write( "Let width = W
\n" ); document.write( "Then length = W+5
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "62 = 2(W+5 + W)
\n" ); document.write( "31 = 2W+5
\n" ); document.write( "2W = 26
\n" ); document.write( "W = 13 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "L = 18 ft.
