Question 19879: The length of a rectangular garden is 10 feet longer than its width. If the garden's perimeter is 184 feet, what is the area of the garden in square feet?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given: length is 10 ft longer than its width, perimeter is 184 ft.
Let x = width (a)
Let x+10 = length (b)
therefore, the width of the garden is 41 feet, and the length is 41+10 = 51 feet.
Area of a rectangle is A = a*b
