Answer:
- 39 ft and 9 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- P = 96 ft
- w = 6x - 15
- l = x
Use perimeter equation and solve for x:
- P = 2(l + w)
- 2( 6x - 15 + x) = 96
- 7x - 15 = 48
- 7x = 63
- x = 9
Find the width:
- w = 6*9 - 15 = 39
Given :-
- Elsie is planning a rectangular section of grass if the perimeter of the rectangle is 96 ft .
To find :-
- what is the length and width of the rectangular section the width is 6x - 15 and the length is x .
Solution :-
According to Question :-
- l = x
- b = 6x - 15
Using formula of perimeter :-
- P = 2(l + b)
- 96ft = 2(x + 6x -15)
- 96 = 14x - 30
- 14x = 96 + 30
- 14x = 126
- x = 9 ft
Hence
- l = x = 9ft
- b = 6x - 15 = 39ft
