You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Area of garden without border
= 60 x 80 = 4,800 m^2
This area doubled = 9,600 m^2
9,600 - 4,800
= 4,800 m^2
This is the fruit area.
Two shorter sides + one
longer side.
2(60) + 80
= 200 meters
4,800 m^2/ 200 meters
= 24 meters.
This is the width of the border.
Hope this helps:-)
