Nya is building a garden in her yard. She has 24 feet of fencing for her garden and wants it to be in the shape of a rectangle with a length of 3 feet. What does the width need to be for this to work?(1 point) Responses 3 3 9 9 6 6 4

Answer 1

To find the width of the garden, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is 2 times the length plus 2 times the width.

Given that the length is 3 feet and the perimeter of the garden should be 24 feet, we can set up the equation:

2(3) + 2w = 24

6 + 2w = 24

2w = 24 - 6

2w = 18

w = 18/2

w = 9

Therefore, the width of the garden needs to be 9 feet.
