Question:
Half the perimeter of a garden, whose length is 4 more than its width is 36 m. Find the dimension of the garden.
Solution:
Let perimeter of rectangular garden will be $2(l+b)$.if half the perimeter of a garden will be $36 \mathrm{~m}$
$(l+b)=36 \cdots(i)$
When the length is four more than its width then $(b+4)$
Substituting $l=b+4$ in equation $(i)$ we get
$l+b=36$
$b+4+b=36$
$2 b=36-4$
$2 b=32$
$b=\frac{32}{2}$
$b=16$
Putting $b=16$ in equation $(i)$ we get
$(l+b)=36$
$l+16=36$
$l=36-16$
$l=20$
Hence, the dimensions of rectangular garden are width $=16 \mathrm{~m}$ and length $=20 \mathrm{~m}$
