Question

Saul is building a raised garden bed. The perimeter of the garden bed is 28 feet. The length of the garden bed will be 4 less than twice the width. What is the width of Saul’s garden bed?

Answers

  1. The width of Saul’s garden bed of rectangle form will be 6 feet.

    What is a rectangle?

    A rectangle is a geometrical figure in which opposite sides are equal.
    The angle between any two consecutive sides will be 90 degrees.
    Area of rectangle = length × width.
    The perimeter of the rectangle = 2( length + width).
    As per the given,
    Perimeter = 2(L + W) = 28 feet
    The length of the garden bed will be 4 less than twice the width.
    L = 2W – 4
    2(2W – 4 + W) = 28
    3W – 4 = 14
    3W = 18
    W = 6 feet
    Hence “The width of Saul’s garden bed of rectangle form will be 6 feet”.

  2. Answer:
    x=6
    Step-by-step explanation:
    2(3x-4)=28 is the formula.
    Divide each side by 2 to get 3x-4=14
    Subtract 4 on each side to get 3x=18
    Then divide by 3 on each side to get the answer
    x=6
