Question

Franco has a total of 200 feet of fencing. He wants to use all of the fencing to create a small rectangular garden. The garden will be 4 times as long as it is wide. Find the length and the width of the final garden.

Paul M. · Accepted Answer

Let L = length and  W = width
2(L + W) = 200
L= 4W
 
Substitute:
2(4W + W) = 200
 
10W = 200
W = 20
L = 80
