The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 292 m. if the width of the garden is 55m, what is its length?
Let the length of the garden be L.
Given:
Perimeter of the rectangular garden = 292m
Width of the garden = 55m
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
Perimeter = 2(L + W)
Substitute the given values:
292 = 2(L + 55)
Simplify the equation:
292 = 2L + 110
2L = 292 - 110
2L = 182
L = 182 / 2
L = 91
Therefore, the length of the garden is 91m.
