Mr. Wistrom is building a garden in his

backyard. He has decided to put a fence up

around his garden to protect his vegetables.

The perimeter of his garden is 110 feet. If the

length of the garden is 40 feet, what is the

width?

Answer:

15ft

Step-by-step explanation:

rectangles have 4 sides. The top and bottom are equal, and the left and right are. If we know that the length of one side is 40 ft, we know the length of the other side is also 40 ft so we subtract 80 from 110. that leaves us with 30. So, the width of each side is equal so we know the width is 15 ft.
