Question

Nya is building a garden in her yard. She has 24 feet 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?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

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

Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)

Since the length is given as 3 feet and the perimeter is given as 24 feet, we can substitute these values into the formula:

24 = 2 * (3 + Width)

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

12 = 3 + Width

Subtract 3 from both sides:

9 = Width

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

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

Perimeter = 2(length + width).

We know that the length of the garden is 3 feet and the perimeter is 24 feet. Let's substitute these values into the formula:

24 = 2(3 + width).

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

12 = 3 + width.

Subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation:

9 = width.

Therefore, the width of the rectangular garden needs to be 9 feet for it to work.

To find out the width of Nya's garden, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is length multiplied by width. In this case, the length of the rectangle is given as 3 feet and the total area is given as 24 square feet.

So, to find the width, we can rearrange the formula and solve for width:
Area = Length × Width
24 square feet = 3 feet × Width

To solve for Width, we divide both sides of the equation by 3:
Width = 24 square feet ÷ 3 feet

Now, we can calculate the width:
Width = 8 feet

Therefore, to make the garden in the shape of a rectangle with a length of 3 feet and an area of 24 square feet, the width needs to be 8 feet.
