The length of a garden is 28 feet, and its width is 16 feet. The perimeter of the rectangle is 2l + 2w where l is the length and w is the width. What is the perimeter of the garden?

Answer 1

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by the formula P = 2l + 2w, where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width.

In this case, the length of the garden is 28 feet and the width is 16 feet.

Substituting those values into the formula, we get:

P = 2(28) + 2(16)
P = 56 + 32
P = 88

Therefore, the perimeter of the garden is 88 feet.
