The length of a rectangular garden is 8 feet longer than its width. the garden's perimeter is 188 feet. find the length of the garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter= 2×Length + 2×width

from the question,

perimeter=188feet

Length is 8 feet more than the width

which means that

length =8 + Width

substitute them into the question

188 = 2(8+width) +2w

188 =16 +2w+2w

188=16 +4w

solving for W

4w =188-16

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
