Question 1078527: The length of a rectangular garden is 10 feet longer than its width. If the garden's perimeter is 208 feet, what is the area of the garden in square feet? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x and 104-x are the length and width; length=width= half the perimeter or 104 feet.
but x-10 = 104-x
2x=114
x=57 feet length
x-10=47 foot width
area is 57*47=2679 ft^2.
