To find the width of the garden, we need to subtract the length from the total fencing available.
Total fencing = 24 feet
Length of the garden = 3 feet
Width of the garden = Total fencing - Length of the garden
Width of the garden = 24 feet - 3 feet
Width of the garden = 21 feet
Therefore, the width of the garden needs to be 21 feet for it to work.
To find the width of the garden, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle: P = 2l + 2w, where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width.
In this case, the length is given as 3 feet and the total fencing available is 24 feet. We can set up the equation: 24 = 2(3) + 2w.
Simplifying the equation, we have: 24 = 6 + 2w.
Subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation, we have: 18 = 2w.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we have: w = 9.
Therefore, the width of the garden needs to be 9 feet for it to work with the given length and amount of fencing.
To find the width of the garden, we can use the perimeter formula for a rectangle. The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides. In this case, we have the length of 3 feet and a total of 24 feet of fencing available for all the sides.
Let's break down the formula:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
In this case, the length is given as 3 feet, so we can substitute the values into the formula:
24 = 2(3 + width)
To find the width, we can solve this equation. Start by distributing the 2 on the right side of the equation:
24 = 6 + 2(width)
Next, subtract 6 from both sides of the equation to isolate the width:
18 = 2(width)
Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for the width:
width = 9
So, in order for the garden to be in the shape of a rectangle with a length of 3 feet using 24 feet of fencing, the width needs to be 9 feet.
Stacia wanted concert tickets that were selling for $36 each, and then she got a $19 discount. She paid a total of $53 for the tickets. How many tickets did she buy? Identify the operations needed to solve this problem using the equation 36x −19=53
