Let's assume the width of the rectangular garden is x meters.
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W, where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width.
Given that the length of the garden is 74 m and the perimeter is 270 m, we can write the equation as 270 = 2(74) + 2x.
Simplifying the equation, we have 270 = 148 + 2x.
Subtracting 148 from both sides, we get 270 - 148 = 148 - 148 + 2x.
This simplifies to 122 = 2x.
Dividing both sides by 2, we have 122/2 = 2x/2.
This simplifies to 61 = x.
Therefore, the width of the rectangular garden is 61 meters.
