Since we have 3 sides (that are W, L and W units long), the perimeter of the garden (excluding the barn

wall) is...
W+L+W = 2W+L
So the length of fencing needed is 2W + L feet. But we're given that we have 100 ft of fencing. So if we
use every bit of that fencing, we know that
2W + L = 100

Solve for L:

2W + L = 100
2W + L -2W = 100 - 2W
L = 100 - 2W
------------------------------------------------------Now onto the area of this garden.
The area of any rectangle is just the result of multiplying the length by the width.
So A = LW
