Math Problem Statement

a regular garden has a length of 15 meters and a width of 10 meters. what is the perimeter of the garden?

Solution

To calculate the perimeter of a rectangular garden, use the formula:

Perimeter=2×(Length+Width)\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{Length} + \text{Width})

Given:

  • Length = 15 meters
  • Width = 10 meters

Substitute the values into the formula:

Perimeter=2×(15+10)=2×25=50meters\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (15 + 10) = 2 \times 25 = 50 \, \text{meters}

So, the perimeter of the garden is 50 meters.

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How do you calculate the area of the same garden?
  2. What is the perimeter if the length increases by 5 meters?
  3. How would the perimeter change if the shape was a square with the same area?
  4. How does the perimeter of a triangle compare to that of a rectangle with similar side lengths?
  5. What units are used for perimeter, and why?

Tip: Always double-check whether you're solving for perimeter (sum of sides) or area (space inside) when dealing with shapes.
