An architect designs a rectangle flower garden such that the width is exactly two thirds of the length. If 310 feet of antique picket fencing are to be used to enclose the garden, find the dimension of the garden.
Question
Answer:
width = wheight = h
so w = (2/3) * h
(The perimeter surrounding it)
2w + 2h = 310
2((2/3) * h) + 2h = 310
4h/3 + 2h = 310
10h/3 = 310
10h = 930
h = 93 feet
w = (2/3) * 93
w = 62 feet
