Half the perimeter of a rectangular garden, whose length is 4 m more than its width, is36 m. Find the dimensions of the garden.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Let’s suppose,

width of the garden = x

length = y

so,

y - x = 4............ (1)

y + x = 36........... (2)

y - x = 4

y = x + 4

x	0	8	12
y	4	12	16

y + x = 36

x	0	36	16
y	36	0	20

Hence, the graphic representation is as follows.
