Answer
Let width of rectangular garden be x meters.
Length = (x + 4) meters.
Given,
Half of perimeter = 36 m
By formula,
⇒ Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
⇒ Half of perimeter = (Length + Width)
⇒ 36 = [x + (x + 4)]
⇒ 2x + 4 = 36
⇒ 2x = 36 - 4
⇒ 2x = 32
⇒ x = = 16 meters.
⇒ x + 4 = 16 + 4 = 20 meters.
Hence, length = 20 meters and width = 16 meters.
