An architect designs a rectangular flower garden, the width is exactly two-thirds of the length. If 250 ft of antique picket fencing is used to enclose the garden, find the dimensions of the garden

Answer 1

width = (2/3)*length

2*(width + length) = 250

2*((2/3)*length + length) = 250

(10/3)*length = 250

length = 75

width = (2/3)*length = (2/3)*75 = 50

width = 50
