The area of a square garden is A square feet and the perimeter is p feet. If a=2p+14.25, what is the perimeter of the garden, in feet?
Choose one
A) 38
B) 36
C) 40
D) 56
E) 64
Perimeter of square = P   Side of square = P/4   38rea of Square = (P^2)/16 =38   Given that 38 = 2P + 14.25   (P^2)/16 = 2P + 9   P^2 = 32P + 228   P^2 -32P -228 = 0   P^2 -38P + 6P -228 = 0   P(P-38)+6(P+38) = 0   (P-38)(P+6) = 0   P = 38 or- 6   Discarding negative value , P = 38   38nswer is 38
