Dimensions of a Rectangular Garden

A rectangular garden has a length that is 4 meters longer than its width. The area of the garden is 60 square meters. What are the dimensions of the garden?

Let the width of the garden be represented as $w$ meters. This means the length can be represented as $l = w + 4$ meters. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width, so we have:

$Area = l \times w = 60$.

Substituting for length, this becomes:

$(w + 4) \times w = 60$.
