You can put this solution on YOUR website! A garden is shaped like a rectangle whose perimeter is 88 ft. The length is 10 ft more than the width. Find the length and width.
P = 88 feet
L = W + 10
W = ?
L = ?
Perimeter of regtangle = 2 length + 2 width
P=2L + 2W
88 = 2 (W+10)+ 2W
88 = 2W+20+ 2W
88-20=4W
68=4W
68/4=W
17=W
W=17
Given
L=W+10 = 17+10 = 27 feet
