Eri is planting a rectangular garden with a perimeter of 120 feet. The width is three times the length....
Length: ___ ft
Width: ___ ft
Let the length be L and the width be W.
Given that the width is three times the length, we have:
W = 3L
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
2L + 2W = 120
Substitute W = 3L into the perimeter equation:
2L + 2(3L) = 120
2L + 6L = 120
8L = 120
L = 15
Now, find the width:
W = 3L = 3(15) = 45
Length: 15 ft
Width: 45 ft
