Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Area of garden without border
\n" ); document.write( "= 60 x 80 = 4,800 m^2
\n" ); document.write( "This area doubled = 9,600 m^2
\n" ); document.write( "9,600 - 4,800
\n" ); document.write( "= 4,800 m^2
\n" ); document.write( "This is the fruit area.
\n" ); document.write( "Two shorter sides + one
\n" ); document.write( "longer side.
\n" ); document.write( "2(60) + 80
\n" ); document.write( "= 200 meters
\n" ); document.write( "4,800 m^2/ 200 meters
\n" ); document.write( "= 24 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "This is the width of the border.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps:-)
