The width of the garden is 58ft

We know that the formula for the area of a rectangle is:

#A=w*l#

If we plug in what we know, we get the equation:

#3944ft^2=w*68ft#

Solving for #w#:

#w=(3944ft^2)/(68ft)#

=

#w=58ft#

We can verify our answer by plugging in the width and length into the area formula, and seeing if we got the original area:

#A=w*l#

=

#A=58ft*68ft#

=

#A=3944ft^2#
