Question

The length of your rectangular vegetable garden is 15 times its width. You use 160 ft of fencing to surround your garden. How much area do you have for planing?

Answer 1

Okay.

Find length in terms of width.

Answer 2

Ok, so the problem says "the length (l) of the vegetable garden is 15 times its width (w) and 160ft of fence was used to surround the fence"..so this is saying l = 15w..following me?

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

You used 160ft of fence to surround the garden. This represents perimeter. Understand?

Answer 5

v

Answer 6

l = 15w
w is your width

Answer 7

the problem says length is 15 times width, correct?

Answer 8

so that means l=15w

Answer 9

160 is the perimeter.

Answer 10

So, since w=5, what does l=?

Answer 11

l= 15(5)...which is 75

Answer 12

SO, now that you know length and width..can you determine the area?

Answer 13

... It would be 75(5)=375

Answer 14

Surface Area= 2 pi r 2 + 2 pi r h

Answer 15
