Eri is planting a rectangular garden with a perimeter of 120 feet. The width is three times the length. Find the dimensions of her garden.
Length: ___ ft
Width: ___ ft

Answer

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
