The width of a rectangular garden is two times shorter than its length. Find the size of the garden

The width of a rectangular garden is two times shorter than its length. Find the size of the garden if the length of the wire that was 3 times fenced in the garden is 360 m.

To solve the problem, you first need to determine the perimeter of the garden.

To do this, we divide the length of the wire with which the garden was fenced 3 times, namely 360 meters, by the number of times.

We get:

360/3 = 120 meters.

We write the width of the garden as an unknown number x.

In this case, its length will be: 2 * x.

The perimeter is equal to twice the sum of the sides of the rectangle.

We get the equation:

2 * (x + 2 * x) = 120.

2 * x + 4 * x = 120.

6 * x = 120.

x = 120/6 = 20 meters (The width of the garden.)

2 * x = 20 * 2 = 40 meters (The length of the garden.)
