Question

Kelly will enclose her rectangular tomato garden with 32 feet of fencing material.She wants the length of the garden to be at least three times the width.What is the minimum length that will meet Kelly's conditions?

Answer 1

12.

The rectangle has dimensions w and 3w because the length is a minimum of 3 times the width. So,

Answer 2

3w + w + 3w + w = 32

8w = 32

w = 4

length is 4(3) = 12 feet, the minimum

Answer 3
