Sidney Chen · Answer 1

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that there are 4 sides to a rectangle.

(2 x length) + (2 x width) = perimeter

(2 x 12) + (2 x width) = 36

24 + (2 x width) = 36

2 x width = 12

width = 6

Jacquelyn Montes · Answer 2

Width = 6 Feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length - 12 Feet

Whole Garden - 36 Feet

Use Division:

36 / 12

= 3

There are 2 sides to the width and length

3 * 2 = 6
