Question 519309: a garden is shaped like a rectangle whose perimeter is 92ft. The length is 8ft more than the width. Find the length and width Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! P = 2(L+W)
P = 92
L = W+8
substitute
2( (W+8) + W ) = 92
2W +16 + 2W = 92
4W = 76
W = 19
L = W+8 = 27
.
Check perimeter
2(19+27) = 2(46) = 92
Correct.
.
Answer: L=27, W=19
.
Done.
