Imagine a rectangular garden that has a length of 10 meters and a width of 6 meters. A walkway surrounds the entire garden and has a uniform width of 2 meters. What is the total perimeter of the garden along with the walkway?
To calculate the perimeter of the outer rectangle (garden + walkway), we first need to determine the new dimensions. If the walkway adds 2 meters to each side of the garden, the new length and width can be calculated as follows:
New Length = Length of Garden + 2 * Width of Walkway
New Width = Width of Garden + 2 * Width of Walkway
