Question

A rectangular garden is $2$ times long as it is wide. The perimeter of the garden is 60 feet. The width of the rectangular garden is.

• A. $10$ feet
• B. $20$ feet
• C. $30$ feet

Answer 1

The correct option is A $10$ feet

Length of garden = $2\times$ width of garden
Perimeter of garden = $2\times$ (length + width)
$⟹60=2\times$ (2 $\times$ width + width)
$⟹60=2\times$ ($3\times$ width)
$⟹60=6\times$ width
$⟹$width $=60÷6$
$⟹$width $=\frac{6\times 10}{6}=10$ feet

Therefore, width of the rectangular garden = 10 feet
