Garden with 18 feet as half the perimeter is 5 feet wide.
"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,
[tex]l = w + 8[/tex]
Substitute the value in the formula of half perimeter we get,
[tex]w + 8 + w = 18[/tex]
⇒[tex]2w = 18 - 8[/tex]
⇒[tex]w =\frac{10}{2}[/tex]
⇒[tex]w = 5feet[/tex]
Hence, garden with 18 feet as half the perimeter is 5 feet wide.
