Zack is planning to make a flower garden. He has 24 one-yard sections of fence that he place around the garden. He wants the garden to be as long as possible. What is the longest length he can use for the garden? How wide will the garden be?
Ms. Sue
He could make it 1 yard by 11 yards.

P = 2L + 2W

Ashley
Can you explain to me how?
Ms. Sue
The perimeter must be 24 yards.

P = 2L + 2W

P = (2 * 11) + (2 * 1)

P = 24 yards
