The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 34 square feet. The length of the rectangle is 11 feet longer than the width. Let the length = x and the width = y. What are the dimensions of this garden?

Question

I just need to find the dimensions.

Answer 1

2(x + y) = 34

x + y = 17

x = y + 11

y + y + 11 = 17

2y = 6

y = 3

Answer 2

X+x+11+x+x+11=34

4x+22=34

4x=12

X=3

Rrectangle has dimensions 3 x 14

Pperimeter is measured in feet, not square feet
