A rectangular garden has a length if 6.8 meters and seea perimeter of 20.6 meters. What is the width if the garden?
What is the formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle?
Formula: 2L+2W or L+L+W+W
So the perimeter is 20.6 meters
2(6.8)+2W=20.6
13.6 +2W=20.6
Then Just distribute the problem
20.6-13.6=7, Now you can get the problem, 2W=7 is __ (Divide 2 from both sides)
To find the width of the garden, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Given that the length of the garden is 6.8 meters and the perimeter is 20.6 meters, we can substitute the values into the formula and solve for the width.
20.6 = 2(6.8 + width)
First, we simplify the equation:
20.6 = 2 * 6.8 + 2 * width
20.6 = 13.6 + 2 * width
Next, we isolate the width variable by subtracting 13.6 from both sides:
20.6 - 13.6 = 2 * width
7 = 2 * width
Now, divide both sides by 2:
7 / 2 = width
The width of the garden is 3.5 meters.
