Question 202266: the perimeter of a rectangular garden is 84 feet. The lenght of the garden is twice the width. What is the width of the garden? Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! P = perimeter
L = length
W = width
P = 2*L + 2*W = 84
L = 2*W
P = 2*(2*W) + 2*W = 84 = 6*W
84 = 6*W
W = 84/6 = 14
L = 2*W = 28
-----
2*28 + 2*14 = 56 + 28 = 84
-----
answer is width of the garden is 14 feet.
