Asked by Shelby

The width of a rectangular garden is 2 feet more than 1/3 of its length. The perimeter is 52 feet. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
Answered by Ms. Sue
P = 2L + 2W

52 = 2L + 2(1/3L + 2)

52 = 2L + 2/3L + 4

52 = 2 2/3L + 4

48 = 8/3L

48/(8/3) = L

48 * (3/8) = L

144/8 = 18 = L
