The length of the
walkway is 15 feet more than the width.
Write an equation that could be used to determine the dimensions of the walkway. Solve this
equation to find the length and width, in feet, of the walkway.

L = W + 15
L * W = 54

(W + 15) * W = 54
W^2 + 15W = 54

W^2 + 15W – 54 = 0
W = (-15 +/- sqrt(15^2 – 4 * 1 * -54)) / (2 * 1)
W = (-15 +/- sqrt(225 + 216)) / 2
W = (-15 +/- sqrt(441)) / 2
W = (-15 +/- 21) / 2
W = 6/2 or W = -36/2
W = 3 or W = -18

Obviously W cannot equal -18, so W = 3 and L = 18.

They are the perfect size, affordable, and probably in stock at most stores. All you will need to get your SFG started is a grid (very important) and the “All New Square Foot Gardening” book!! I am so glad to have stumbled on these in the garden center. HD is also selling really cute rain barrels and compost bins too! My suggestion is to get them BEFORE spring arrives. Gardening is time critical and you certainly do not want to have to wait on back orders to start your garden! :)

Oops! Also, when I mentioned these were $50, I meant $50 per bed vs the kits are $59!

Our house is 1500 sf. Our exterior sf is 2300 including the front yard (just did landscaping project). Without front yard is around 1800 sf.

In the description it says that one unit treats 6,000 cubic feet. How many units would I have to use for a 2300 square foot home.

if the walls are 8 feet high (standard) then

2300 * 8 OR 18,400 cu feet

so you need at least 3 cans

Good luck

l * w = 72 feet

l=2 * w

Substitute 2 * w in for l and you get

2 * w * w = 72 feet

w * w = 72 / 2

Simplify:

w^2 = 36

sqrt(w^2) = sqrt(36)

w = 6
l = 6*2 or 12

Perimeter = 6+6+12+12

Perimeter = 36 feet
