Question

the perimeter of the garden is 132 meters,the width of the garden is 29 meters, what is the length of the garden?

Answer 1

Hello Anna,

To find the perimeter of a rectangle (which represents the shape of the garden in this case scenario): multiply 2 (length + width).

Since the perimeter = 132, simply divide the perimeter by 2 to get 66.

Now subtract the width from 66: 66-29 = 37.

The length of the garden is 37 meters.

2 (29 + 37) = 2 x 66 = 132.
