Answer:

The length and the width of the garden is equal to
l=8\ ft

Explanation:

Let

l -----> the length

w----> the width

we have


l=(64)/(w) ------> equation A

If the garden is a square

then

l=w

substitute in the equation A


l=(64)/(l)


l^(2)=64

square root both sides


l=8\ ft

therefore

The length and the width of the garden is equal to
l=8\ ft
