Explanation:

Perimeter of garden = 264 m

width of the garden = 56 m

length of the garden = ?

Now..

Perimeter = 2 ( l + b )

264m = 2l + 112

264 - 112 = 2l

152 = 2l

l = 152 / 2

l = 76 m

Hence the length is 76m

The perimeter formula for a rectangle is 2L+2W=P

We have the width and we have the perimeter

Plug those numbers in.

2L+2(56)=264

2(L)+112=264

Subtract 112 from both sides

2L=152

Divide by 2 on both sides

L=76

The length of the garden is 76 meters.
