Rectangular garden has 4104 of 432m and perimeter of 461. Write the expression representing the length in terms of its width (P - 2W). What would describe the area of the garden? Write the equation in terms of the width (A = L * W). What kind of equation is formulated in this case? Find the roots of the equation (squared in intent). What is the sum of the roots? How is this related to the perimeter? What is the product of the roots? How is this related to the area?

Step 1
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula P = 2L + 2W, where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width. Rearranging the formula, we can express the length in terms of the width as L = (P - 2W)/2. In this case, the perimeter is given as Show more…

If a gardener has 26 feet of fencing for a garden, to find the width of the rectangular garden, the gardener uses the formula p = 2l + 2w, where p is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width of the rectangle. The gardener wants to fence a garden that is 8 feet long and plans on using all available fencing. How wide is the garden? Solve the equation.
