Part a· 4 steps
Dimensions of the land
Define variables and set up equations based on the given information.
Let be the length of the garden and be the width.
From the problem, the width is 6 meters less than the length:The area of the rectangular garden is 27 m:
Substitute the expression for into the area equation and form a quadratic equation.
Solve the quadratic equation for .
We can factor the quadratic equation:
This gives two possible values for :
Since length cannot be negative, we take meters.
Calculate the width .
Using the relationship :
The dimensions of the land are 9 meters by 3 meters.
The dimensions of the land are: Length = , Width = .
Part b
The total distance to be fenced.
The total distance to be fenced is the perimeter of the rectangular garden.
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is .
Substitute the calculated length and width into the perimeter formula.
The total distance to be fenced is .
