Question

The length of a rectangular garden is 200 inches. This is 20 inches longer than twice its width.What is the width of the garden? 180 inches 90 inches 188 inches 160 inches

Answer 1

Given:

The length of a rectangular garden is 200 inches

To find:

The width of the rectangular garden

Solution:

Let the length of the garden is L units

The breadth of the garden is B units

It is given in the question that the length of the garden is 20 inches longer than twice its width

so the algebraic expression of the given condition is given by

• L = 2B + 20

we have given the length of the garden is 200 inches

so we get the equation as

• 200 = 2B + 20
• 2B = 200-20
• 2B = 180
• B = 90 inches

The width of the rectangular garden is 90 inches
