The width of a rectangular garden is 5 feet smaller than the length . find the length and the width if the perimeter of the garden is 58 feet

Length = 17

Width = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is the distance round a figure.

We use algebra to solve the word equation.

Length = x

Width= x-5(we were told width is 5 feet less than length.)

58= x + x + (x-5) + (x-5)

58 = 2x + 2x-10

58 = 4x - 10

58 + 10 =4x

68 = 4x

17 = x

We said length = x so length is 17

We said width = x-5 so 17-5=12

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
