rylanda has a rectangular flower garden.it have a perimeter of 32 feet.it is 6 feet wide.how long is it?
2 sides equal 6ft so
6ft +6ft = 12ft
32ft-12ft = 20ft
total- 2 width's= 2 lengths
2lengths divided by 2 to get each length
20ft/2= 10ft
(32-(6*2))/2 = ?
thank you very much christina:}
2 sides equal 6ft so
I meant 1 width is 6ft so 2 width's = 12ft
To find the length of the rectangular flower garden, we can use the information provided about its perimeter and width.
Given:
Perimeter = 32 feet
Width = 6 feet
The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Substituting the given values into the formula:
32 = 2(length + 6)
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 1/2 (or dividing by 2):
16 = length + 6
Subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation:
length = 16 - 6
Simplifying the equation:
length = 10
Therefore, the length of Rylanda's rectangular flower garden is 10 feet.
