To find the perimeter of the garden, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is given by:

\[ \text{Perimeter} = 2l + 2w \]

Where:

  • \( l \) is the length
  • \( w \) is the width

Given:

  • Length (\( l \)) = 28 feet
  • Width (\( w \)) = 16 feet

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Perimeter} = 2(28) + 2(16) \] \[ = 56 + 32 \] \[ = 88 \text{ feet} \]

Therefore, the perimeter of the garden is 88 feet.
