Dimensions of a Rectangular Garden

A rectangular garden has a length that is 4 feet longer than its width. If the perimeter of the garden is 56 feet, what are the dimensions of the garden?

Let the width of the garden be denoted as $w$ feet. Therefore, the length can be expressed as $l = w + 4$ feet. The formula for the perimeter $P$ of a rectangle is given by:

$$ P = 2(l + w) $$

Substituting the known perimeter into the equation, you can solve for the dimensions.
