Question

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 24ft. The length is 2 ft. more than the width. Find the length and width of the garden

Answer 1

the length is w+2. So the perimeter would be 2w+2(w+2). This is 4w+4 ft.

Answer 2

would it be 4w+4=24?

Answer 3

i got width to be 5
and length to be 7. is that right?

Answer 4

yes. so w=5ft and then you plug in 5 in w+2 to get the length, which is l=7ft.

Answer 5

you got it!
