The area of a square garden is A square feet and the perimeter is p feet. If a=2p+26.25, what is the perimeter of the garden, in feet?  Options.
A) 28
B) 36
C) 40
D) 42
E) 64
Perimeter of square = P   Side of square = P/4   Area of Square = (P^2)/16 =A   Given that A = 2P + 26.25   (P^2)/16 = 2P + 26.25   P^2 = 32P + 420   P^2 -32P -420 = 0   P^2 -42P +10 P -420 = 0   P(P-42)+10(P+42) = 0   (P-42)(P+10) = 0   P = 42 or- 10   42iscarding negative value , P = 42   Answer is 42
