Jim is putting up fence posts around a rectangular garden. He used 50 posts and placed them 2 feet apart. The length of the garden is 30 feet. What is the perimeter of the garden? What is the area of the garden?

thanks

P = 2l + 2w

P = 2(30) + 2(20)
P = 60+ 40 = 100 ft

A = l * w
A = (30) (20) = 600 ft^2
