joe wants the perimeter of his rectangular garden to be ,at most, 76 feet he plans on making the length 22 feet what is the maximum width of his garden

Question

i need the answer

Answer 1

The perimeter of the garden is the sum of the lengths and widths of the garden, L + L + W + W = P or rewritten,

 

2*(L + W)=P

 

We are told that the maximum perimeter is 76 feet and the length is 22 feet, so we plug those into our equation:

 

2*(22+W)=76

 

Now we solve for W by first dividing both sides by 2 and then subtracting 22 from both sides. Finally, we get:

 

W = 16 ft
