Final answer:

The perimeter of the square flower bed is 4 * (13/6) yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square flower bed is given by the formula A = s^2, where A is the area and s is the length of each side of the square.

In this case, the area is 169/36 square yards.

To find the length of each side, we need to take the square root of the area which is -

= √(169/36)

= 13/6 yards.

Since a square has four equal sides, the perimeter is found by multiplying the length of one side by 4.

So the perimeter of the flower bed is 4 * (13/6) yards.
