Jordan has a garden that is enclosed by a rectangular fence the perimeter of the garden is 84 feet the length of one side of fencing is 8 yards what is the area of Jordan’s garden

Answer 1

perimeter = 2 *length + 2 *width

length = 24 feet (8 yards = 24 feet)

since perimeter = 84 feet

84 = 2 * 24 + 2 * width

36 = 2 * width

18 = width

width = 18 feet

area of rectangle is length * width = 24 * 18 = 432 square feet
