A gardener is installing fence around his garden. Let x represent the width of the garden, in feet. The perimeter of the garden is 8x + 8. Which expression represents the length of the garden? 1. 2x + 2

2. 3x + 4

3. 6x + 8

4. 8x + 8 – 2x

2.        3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

w=x

Perimeter (p) = 8x+8

Formula for perimeter  p =2(L+W)

8x+8 =  2(L+W)

L+W is half, so    

 L+W = 4x+4

Substract W on both sides;

L = 4x+4 -W    

We know that  W = x

So

L= 4x+4-x

4x-x= 3x

L= 3x+4

the answer is b

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
