Answer:

130 feet

Explanation:


45 feet is one of the lengths of the rectangular garden and 20 feet is the other.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 2(l+w) and we know that these must be the lengths and widths.

Communitive property of addition states that it doesn't matter the order that we add so we know it's just 20+45 (65) then times 2 which is 130

130 feet is your answer.
