Question

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 132 meters. The length is 6 meters longer than twice the width. What is the dimensions of the garden?

Answer 1

`90mxx42m`

Explanation:

Let the width be `x` meters

Then length`=2x+6`

`:.perimeter=2x+6+x=132m`

`:.3x=132-6`

`:.3x=126`

`:.x=42` meters

Substitude x=42 in the length

`:.2(42)+6`

`:.84+6=90m` = length
