To find the perimeter of the garden, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
\[
P = 2l + 2w
\]
where \(l\) is the length and \(w\) is the width.
Given:
- Length (\(l\)) = 28 feet
- Width (\(w\)) = 16 feet
Now we can substitute the values into the formula:
\[
P = 2(28) + 2(16)
\]
Calculating each term:
\[
2(28) = 56 \quad \text{and} \quad 2(16) = 32
\]
Now, add these two results together:
\[
P = 56 + 32 = 88 \text{ feet}
\]
Therefore, the perimeter of the garden is **88 feet**.
\[
P = 2l + 2w
\]
where \(l\) is the length and \(w\) is the width.
Given:
- Length (\(l\)) = 28 feet
- Width (\(w\)) = 16 feet
Now we can substitute the values into the formula:

P = 2(28) + 2(16)
\]
Calculating each term:
\[
2(28) = 56 \quad \text{and} \quad 2(16) = 32

Now, add these two results together:
\[
P = 56 + 32 = 88 \text{ feet}
\]
Therefore, the perimeter of the garden is **88 feet**.
