Given the area of the rectangular community garden, the length and width of the garden are 30ft and 10ft respectively.
What is the length and width of the garden?
A rectangle is a 2-dimensional shape with parallel opposite sides equal to each other and four angles are right angles.
Area of a rectangle is expressed as;
A = length × Width
Given the data in the question;
- Area of the rectangular community garden A = 300ft²
- Let width w = x
- Length = three times width = 3x
We substitute the values into the equation
A = length × breadth
300 = 3x × x
300 = 3x²
Divide both sides by 3
x² = 100
Take the square root of both sides
x = ±√100
x = 10, -10
Since, dimension of a rectangle cannot be Negative.
x = 10
Hence;
Width w = x = 10ft
Length = 3Width = 3x = 3( 10 ) = 30ft
Given the area of the rectangular community garden, the length and width of the garden are 30ft and 10ft respectively.
