Richie is planting a rectangular garden with a perimeter of 39 feet. The length is twice the width. Find the dimensions of the garden

l=13 ft

w=6.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a rectangular garden would have 4 sides

two of the sides are x feet long

and the other two sides are 2x feet long

therefore

x+x+2x+2x=39

which is the same as saying

6x=39

divide both sides by 6 to get

x=6.5

so the width is 6.5 feet and the length is twice that or 13 feet

step-by-step explanation :

we know that

the measurement of the outer angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

in this problem

m< xzy is the outer angle

substitute the values

the measure of angle xoy is equal to

> by central angle

substitute the value
