The fence around the school's garden is 22.6 m. If the garden is 7.5 m long, how wide is the garden? *

Explanation:

22.6 is the perimeter because the question has the key words "fence" and "around" that let us know.

Perimeter equation is L+L+W+W

We know 7.5 is the length (could also be the width, it doesn't matter the order)

The length appears two times, so lets plug it in-

22.6= 7.5+7.5+W+W  , Now you want to combine the like terms so.. 7.5+7.5=15

22.6= 15+W+W

Now subtract the 15 from 22.6

7.6= W+W , there are two W's left so divide 7.6 by 2

7.6/2= 3.8

It is 3.8 m wide

we would need to see the picture to answer it

can you give me more to work here with plzs and you
