» The length of a rectangular vegetable garden is 4 feet more than its width. After a 2-foot cement border is placed around the garden, the area of garden and border is 320 square feet.

  • a. Make an illustration of the vegetable garden.

  • b. Find the original dimensions of the vegetable garden.

[tex] \large\underline{\mathbb{ANSWER}:} [/tex]

[tex] \qquad \Large \:\: \rm{length = 16 \: feet} [/tex]

[tex] \qquad \Large \:\: \rm{width = 12 \: feet} [/tex]

[tex]••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••[/tex]

[tex] \large\underline{\mathbb{SOLUTION}:} [/tex]

» Let l and w be the length and the width of the garden. Make the length as 4 more than the width.

  • [tex] l = w + 4 [/tex]

» With a 2 feet thick border. The length and the width of the garden with the border would be.

  • [tex] length = l + 2 + 2 = l + 4 [/tex]

  • [tex] width = w + 2 + 2 = w + 4 [/tex]

» Create two equations by the given statements.

  • [tex] \begin{cases} l = w + 4 \\ (l + 4)(w + 4) = 320 \end{cases} \quad \begin{align} \tt{(eq. \: 1)} \\ \tt{(eq. \: 2)} \end{align} [/tex]

» Substitute l in the second equation from the first equation in terms of w.

  • [tex] \begin{cases} l = w + 4 \\ (w + 4 + 4)(w + 4) = 320 \end{cases}[/tex]

  • [tex] \begin{cases} l = w + 4 \\ (w + 8)(w + 4) = 320 \end{cases}[/tex]

  • [tex] \begin{cases} l = w + 4 \\ w^2 + 12w + 32 = 320 \end{cases}[/tex]

  • [tex] \begin{cases} l = w + 4 \\ w^2 + 12w + 32 - 320 = 0 \end{cases}[/tex]

  • [tex] \begin{cases} l = w + 4 \\ w^2 + 12w - 288 = 0 \end{cases}[/tex]

» Solve the quadratic equation in the second equation by factoring. Use only the positive solution.

  • [tex] w^2 + 12w - 288 = 0 [/tex]

  • [tex] (w + 24)(w - 12) = 0 [/tex]

  • [tex] w + 24 = 0 \quad,\quad w - 12 = 0 [/tex]

  • [tex] w = \text-24 \quad,\quad \boxed{w = 12} [/tex]

» Thus, the width of the garden is 12 feet. Substitute it to the first equation to find the length.

  • [tex] \begin{cases} l = 12 + 4 \\ w = 12 \end{cases}[/tex]

  • [tex] \begin{cases} l = 16 \\ w = 12 \end{cases}[/tex]

[tex] \therefore [/tex] The length of the garden is 16 feet in measure.
