Damari is building a garden in her yard. She has 24 feet of fencing for her garden and she 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?

Answer 1

To find the width of the rectangle, you need to determine how much fencing is left after subtracting the length of the rectangle from the total fencing.

Since the length of the rectangle is given as 3 feet, you subtract 3 from 24 to find the remaining fencing: 24 - 3 = <<24-3=21>>21 feet

To form a rectangle, the width and length should be equal. Thus, the width of the rectangle should be 21 feet.
