Question

yen is planting flowers around the outside of her garden. she needs to know the perimeter of the garden to buy enough flowers. perimeter = 2 × length + 2 × width what is the perimeter of yens garden? 70 feet 140 feet 280 feet 1,200 feet

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute values into formula

Given length \( l = 40\) feet and width \( w = 30\) feet.
Perimeter formula \(P=2l + 2w\).
Substitute: \(P = 2\times40+2\times30\).

Step2: Calculate each term

\(2\times40 = 80\), \(2\times30=60\).

Step3: Sum the terms

\(P=80 + 60=140\).

Answer:

140 feet
