To solve this problem, we need to understand that a rectangle has two equal sides and two equal lengths. In this case, Nya wants to build a rectangular garden with a length of 3 feet.
The perimeter or fencing required for a rectangle is calculated by adding the length of all the sides. Since there are two equal lengths, we can calculate the perimeter as follows:
Perimeter = 2 * Length + 2 * Width
Nya has 24 feet of fencing. So, we can set up the equation as follows:
24 = 2 * 3 + 2 * Width
By solving this equation, we can find the width of the garden that would work with the given fencing and length.
