Val measures the perimeter of her rectangular garden as 80 ft. Use the perimeter of the garden and the appropriate formula. Solve the formula for the width of the garden. Use the equation to help explain how the width changes in relation to changes in the length. A. w = 40 − l; the width increases as the length decreases B. w = l − 40; the width increases as the length increases C. w = 40 − l; the width increases as the length increases D. w = l − 40; the width increases as the length decreases

Answer:

D. w = l − 40; the width increases as the length decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle =

P = 2l + 2w

Where to find the Width, we make w the subject of the formula.

Hence:

P - 2l = 2w

w = P - 2l/2

From the question, P = 80

Hence,

w = 80 - 2l/2

w = 80/2 - 2l/2

w = 40 - l

The width of a rectangle is always the longer side ,hence:

D. w = l − 40; the width increases as the length decreases
