Answer :
Answer:
length of garden = 11 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter (P) of a rectangle is calculated as
• P = 2( length + width)
let l be the length, then width is l + 5 ( 5 feet more than length )
given P = 54 , then
2(l + l + 5) = 54
2(2l + 5) = 54 ( divide both sides by 2 )
2l + 5 = 27 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
2l = 22 ( divide both sides by 2 )
l = 11
That is the length of the garden is 11 feet
