ty uses 20ft of fencing to make a rectangular garden.he devides the rectangle into 4 equal squares all in 1 row.the side of each row is 2ft long.what is the area of the garden? i dont know how show representations,or write an equation for this problem please help me, Matt 47 yr old dad trying to help my 8 yr old son
divides the rectangle into 4 equal squares.
but the dimension of square is one side times that side => 2x2= 4ft square. but we know that there are 4 equal squares => 4x4=16ft square.
if you want to show your son, just let him know like there is a long cake and then you have to divide into 4 equal small cake squares. but the dimension of square is a*a => if you get dimension of one small cake squares you will know what dimension of that long cake is.
i am not good english too much but this solution may hope you little bit.
sincerely.
Hi my name is Audrey. I am in third grade and I don't know how to do this problem. Please help me with this problem. Here is the math problem. Ty uses 20 feet of fencing to make rectangular garden. He divides the rectangle into 4 equal squares all in one row. What is the area of the garden? Please put on the chat the answer.
That would take more than 20 feet of fencing wouldn't it? 26 linear feet
Sure, Matt! I'll help you with this problem step-by-step.
To solve this problem, we need to find the dimensions of the rectangular garden and then calculate its area.
Let's start by representing the rectangular garden:
Let's call the width of the rectangular garden "w" and the length of the rectangular garden "l".
Since the garden is divided into four equal squares all in one row, the length of the garden is equal to the sum of the sides of the four squares.
Each side of those four squares has a length of 2 feet. So, the length of the garden, l, can be calculated as:
l = 4 * 2 feet = 8 feet.
The perimeter of the rectangle is given as 20 feet, which is the sum of the four sides.
The sum of the lengths of the edges of the garden is given by the equation:
2w + 2l = 20.
Since we know the value of l, we can substitute it into the equation:
2w + 2(8) = 20
2w + 16 = 20.
Now, let's solve the equation:
2w = 20 - 16
2w = 4
w = 2.
So, the width of the garden, w, is 2 feet.
Now we have both the width and length of the garden, so we can calculate its area by multiplying the width and length:
Area = width * length = 2 feet * 8 feet = 16 square feet.
Therefore, the area of the garden is 16 square feet.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
