A woman wishes to enclose a rectangular garden with fencing,using the side of her garage as one side of the rectangle.A neighbor gave her 33 feet of fencing, and she wants the length of the garden along the garage to be 9 feet more than the width.what are the dimensions of the garden? 1) what’s the length of the rectangular garden. 2) what’s the width of the rectangular garden.

Explanation / Answer

Let width = x

length = x + 9

2 * (x + x + 9) = 33

or, 2 * (2x + 9) = 33

or, 4x + 18 = 33

or, 4x = 15

or, x = 3.75

1) Length of the rectangular garden = 3.75 + 9 = 12.75

2) Width of the rectangular garden = 3.75
