Answer 1

To calculate the perimeter of the garden, you can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:

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

Given:

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

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

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

So the perimeter of the garden is 88 feet.
