Given the perimeter and length of the garden, the width of the garden was extended by 4 feet

How to find width of the garden

  • Length of the garden = 12 feet
  • Width of the garden = 7 feet

  • Width extension =( 7 + w) feet

  • Perimeter = 46 feet

Perimeter = 2(length+ width)

46 = 2{12 + (7 + w)}

46 = 2(12 + 7 + w)

46 = 2(19 + w)

46 = 38 + 2w

46 - 38 = 2w

8 = 2w

w = 8/2

w = 4 feet
