Question 661101: Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all its sides. A garden is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 2 feet more than twice its width. Its perimeter is 34 feet. What is the length and width of the garden? Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! p = 2l+2w = 2(l+w)=34
l = 2+2w
2(2+2w) + 2w = 34
4 + 4w + 2w = 34
6w = 30
w = 5
l = 2 + 2(5) = 12
Proof
2(5+12) = 34
