Question 1160125
<br>
(1) Although it is unusual, you can call the dimensions of the garden base and height....<br>
(2) If an algebraic solution is not required, this problem can be solved in a few seconds with logical reasoning and a bit of easy mental arithmetic.<br>
For the garden plus walk, the difference between the two dimensions is 8 yards.<br>
Since the walk is uniform width, the difference between the dimensions of the garden alone is also 8 yards.<br>
So the task is to find two numbers with a product of 180 and a difference of 8.<br>
Almost immediately the two numbers 18 and 10 should be seen.<br>
