Question

The perimeter of the garden is 24 m. The width of the garden is 4m.
Calculate the length of the garden in metres
Using the formula
Perimeter =2 × lenght + 2 × width

Answer 1

Answer:

8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 24m

Width = 4m

Perimeter = 2 × length + 2 × width

24 = 2 × l + 2 × 4

24 = 2 × l + 8

24 - 8 = 2 × l

16 = 2 × l

16 ÷ 2 = l

8 = l

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of garden =2×( l + b)

24m =2×(l+4m)

24m =2l + 8m

24m+8m =2l

32m = 2l

32m/2 = l

16m = l

Length = 16m

perimeter of rectangle = 2×( l + b)

= 2×( 16m + 4m)

= 2× 20m²

= 40m²

Thus,the length of garden is 16 and the perimeter of garden is 40m².
