Which statement is true? The length of Jane’s garden is four times the length of Simon’s garden. The length of Jane’s garden is double the length of Simon’s garden. Jane’s garden has the same perimeter as Simon’s garden. The perimeter of Jane’s garden is four times that of Simon’s garden.

this is 911 wats your emergency? lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahahaha you r cool bro

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

have you tried solving this already? and failed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nop my answer is b

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

why b though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my heart say that

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

well you can't always trust your heart when it comes to mathematics, though it may be right sometimes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was just a jk bro

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

well try this, we know that the area of jane's garden is 4 times that of simon's and the width of jane's is twice that of simon's. we know the formula for area of a rectangle... so with the given statements, let W be width and L be length, form equations and find out which statement is right by elimination... does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thank you so much

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

:) so what was your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

OpenStudy (sasogeek):
