A vegetable garden is in the shape of a parallelogram with the dimensions shown. Parallelogram A B C D is shown. The length of A B is (4 r minus 2) feet, the length of B C is (2 r + 12) feet, and the length of A D is (3 r + 8) feet. How many feet of fencing are needed to enclose the garden?

54 feet
68 feet
108 feet
140 feet

t needs 68 feet to enclose the garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are to solve the sides of a parallelogram ABCD to know the measurement to enclose a garden.

Take note that a parallelogram has two equal lengths and two equal widths. Let us assume that the parallelogram AB = CD is the length and AD = BC is the width.

Solving the problem

First, let us solve for r using the condition AD = BC

AD = BC

3r + 8 = 2r + 12

Simplify the equation

3r - 2r = 12 - 8

r = 4

Next, let us substitute the value of r to AB, BC, CD, and AD.

For AB:

AB = 4r - 2

AB = 4(4) - 2

AB = 16 - 2 = 14

For BC:

BC = 2r + 12

BC = 2(4) + 12

BC = 8 + 12 = 20

For AD:

AD = 3r + 8

AD = 3(4) + 8

AD = 12 + 8 = 20

For CD:

But AB = CD Therefore, CD = 14

Finally, let us solve the perimeter of the parallelogram

Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + AD

Perimeter = 14 + 20 + 20 + 14

Perimeter = 68 feet

Therefore, the fencing needed to enclose the garden is 68 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

x=17

answer:

x=17
