Question

Half the perimeter of a rectangular garden, whose lenght is 4 m more than its width, is 36 m. Find the dimensions of the garden.

Answer 1

Answer:

length = 20  and width = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

let the width of garden be x

length of garden is 4+x

perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)

 according to question

   36= 1/2{2(x+4+x)}

    36 = x+4+x

    36= 2x +4

       x = 16

length = 4+x = 4+16 =20

width= 16
