The length of a rectangular garden is 9 feet longer than its width. If the garden's perimeter is 206 feet, what is the area of the garden in square feet?

Answer 1

L = 9 + W

P = 206 = 2L +2W

L+W = 103

9+W + W = 103

2W = 103-9 = 94

W = 94/2 = 47

L = 47+9 = 56

A = LW = 56(47) = 2632 square feet = the Area of the garden
