Question

Nya is building a garden in her yard she has 24 feet of fencing for her garden and wants it to be shape of a rectangle with a length of 3 feet

Answer 1

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

\[
P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width})
\]

Given that Nya has 24 feet of fencing for the perimeter and the length of the rectangle is 3 feet, we can set up the equation:

\[
24 = 2 \times (3 + \text{width})
\]

Now, we will solve for the width:

1. Divide both sides by 2:

\[
12 = 3 + \text{width}
\]

2. Subtract 3 from both sides:

\[
\text{width} = 12 - 3 = 9
\]

So, the dimensions of Nya's garden will be:

- Length: 3 feet
- Width: 9 feet

The rectangle will have a length of 3 feet and a width of 9 feet.
