Answer 1

To find the width of the garden, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

We know that the length is 3 feet. Let's substitute that in:

24 = 2(3 + width)

Simplifying the equation:

24 = 6 + 2width

Subtracting 6 from both sides:

18 = 2width

Dividing both sides by 2:

9 = width

So the width of the garden needs to be 9 feet.
