A. 6
B. 3
C. 9
D. 4
To find the width of the garden, we need to subtract the length of the rectangle from the total length of the fencing and divide it by 2, since there are two equal sides of the width.
Total fencing length - Length of rectangle = 24 - 3 = 21 ft
Width of garden = (Total fencing length - Length of rectangle) / 2 = 21 / 2 = 10.5 ft
Therefore, the width of the garden should be 10.5 ft, which is none of the given options.
