To find the dimensions of the garden next year, we need to increase both the length and width by 15%.
First, let's find the increase in length:
Increase in length = 15% of 8 feet
Increase in length = (15/100) * 8 feet
Increase in length = 1.2 feet
To calculate the new length, we need to add the increase to the current length:
New length = Current length + Increase in length
New length = 8 feet + 1.2 feet
New length = 9.2 feet
Now let's find the increase in width:
Increase in width = 15% of 5 feet
Increase in width = (15/100) * 5 feet
Increase in width = 0.75 feet
To calculate the new width, we need to add the increase to the current width:
New width = Current width + Increase in width
New width = 5 feet + 0.75 feet
New width = 5.75 feet
Therefore, the dimensions of the garden next year will be:
Length = 9.2 feet
Width = 5.75 feet
