the perimeter of a rectangular garden is 62 feet. The length is 1 foot more than twice the width find the dimension of the garden.

W = 10

L = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

P = 2 * (L + W)

Givens

W = x L = 2*x + 1 P = 62 feet

Solution

2 * (L + W) = P 2 * (2x + 1 + x) = 62 feet Substitute the givens 2 * (3x + 1) = 62 Remove the brackets 6x + 2 = 62 Subtract 2 from both sides 6x = 62 - 2 Do the subtraction 6x = 60 Divide by 4 x = 60/6 Do the division x = 10

Answer

Width = 10 Length = 2x + 1 = 2*10 + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21
