Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Lengh = 20m, Breadth = 16m

Explanation:

L=x+4

B=x

L+B=36

x+x+4=36

2x=36-4

x=32/2

x=16

Answer 2

Let the width of the garden =x meter

Then length=(x+4) mete

Half perimeter =36 m

So perimeter of garden =(2×36)=72 meters

According to the question

According to the questions

⇒2(l+b)=72⇒2(x+x+4)=72⇒2x+2x+4=74⇒4x=64⇒x=16

metersHence,the width of the garden =16 metersThe length of the garden =(16+4)=20 meters
