    The length of this garden is 16 feet and the width is 3 feet. There are not other answers because 16 and 3 are the only numbers that can both be added to equal 19 and multiplied to equal 48. When solving this problem I wrote down the formulas for perimeter and area. We were given both the perimeter and area, 38 ft and 48 ft. I plugged this into the formula P=38= 2(l+w) then divided 38 by 2 and found that 19= l+w. Then I wrote the formula for area A=48=lxw. Then I found the two numbers that added to be 19 and multiplied to be 48.…

    Alright so how do you find this answer? It’s not as hard as you think it is. Although it is kind of tricky on how to get the answer. What my first concern was, “This is going to take forever.

    The Women's Room Analysis

    During my junior year of high school, I somewhat became aware of Women's Right Issue. I have made an effort to evaluate majority of the culture standard that I had previously taken in as it just being “the untaught order of items.” One of the directions that I took to enlarge my knowledge of the female soul involved in women’s creative writing. That is one reason why I spent some time of my life crying, laughing, feeling puzzled, and often, feeling livid and worried. It all started when I decided to pick up a book called “The Women’s Room” and read the book.…
