If the garden Is a square with a perimeter of 260 ft, what is the area of the walkway in square feet?

Answer 1

Sadie Adams

#x# -- one side length Therefore, a square should have four congruent side lengths.

#4x = 260#

#x = 65#

The area should be #s^2# where #s# is the side length.

#65^2 = 4225 \text{ ft}^2#

To find the area of the walkway, first, determine the dimensions of the inner square garden. Divide the perimeter by 4 to find the length of one side of the inner square. Then, add twice the width of the walkway to both the length and width of the inner square to find the dimensions of the outer square. Finally, subtract the area of the inner square from the area of the outer square to find the area of the walkway.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
