Finding Perimeter of a Rectangular Garden

Very Hard Measurement Perimeter And Area

Consider a rectangular garden where the length is twice the width. If the total area of the garden is 480 square feet, what is the perimeter of the garden in feet?

Let the width be denoted as $w$ feet. Then, the length is $2w$ feet. The area of a rectangle is calculated as:

$$ ext{Area} = ext{Length} imes ext{Width} $$

So, we have:

$$ 2w imes w = 480 $$

Solve for $w$ to find the dimensions of the garden and then calculate the perimeter.
