Hi, dear friends, I am having trouble solving this problem. i need your help
A rectangular garden has a perimeter of 50 feet. The width of the garden is 7 feet. What is the area of the garden?.
This is what I have been able to do.
the formula for the area of a rectangle is A = l *w
You are given that the width of the garden is 7 feet...
W=7
but I do not know the length of the garden.I will need to find the length of the garden before I can find its area.
perimeter of this rectangle>50 feet
if the width of one side is 7 the other side is also 7=14
The length of the garden is twice the width.
L= 7+7 =14
Now that you know length and width
I go ahead and find the area of the garden using the formula A = l.w
A= l x w
A=14 x 7
A= 98
from here on out, i don't know what else to do.
I have been told the answer is wrong.
Thank you so much in advance.
