Question: The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 54 yards and the width is 36 feet. What is the length of the garden?

Solution:
Given that,
Perimeter of rectangle = 54 yards
54 × 3 = 162 feet ; [1 yard = 3 feet]
And Width = 36 feet

We know,
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
⇒ 162 = 2(L + 36)
⇒ 81 = L + 36
∴ L = 81 - 36 = 45 feet

∴ The length of the garden is 45 feet = 45/3 = 15 yards.
