Half the perimeter of a rectangular garden, whose length is 4 m more than its width, is36 m. Find the dimensions of the garden.


Let’s suppose,

width of the garden = x


length = y


so,


y - x = 4............ (1)


y + x = 36........... (2)


y - x = 4


y = x + 4


x



0



8



12



y



4



12



16



y + x = 36




x



0



36



16



y

Hence, the graphic representation is as follows.
