Garden with 18 feet as half the perimeter is 5 feet wide.
What is perimeter?
"Perimeter is defined as the total length covered by the body around the shape formed."
Formula used
Perimeter = 2( length + width)
Half perimeter = length + width
According to the question,
Given,
Half the perimeter of the garden = 18feet
'l' represents the length of the garden
'w' represents the width of the garden
As per the condition given,
\(l = w + 8\)
Substitute the value in the formula of half perimeter we get,
\(w + 8 + w = 18\)
⇒\(2w = 18 - 8\)
⇒\(w =\frac{10}{2}\)
⇒\(w = 5feet\)
Hence, garden with 18 feet as half the perimeter is 5 feet wide.
