When you post the same question twice, I assume that you are trying to game the system so as to get your question noticed and done ahead of someone else who plays by the rules. When I see this, I punish you by not answering either instance. Repost, ONCE, if you still need help.

Let w be the width.
The length is 2w.
The perimeter is
2w%2Bw%2B2w%2Bw=60ft so
6w=60ft and w=10ft
The garden is 10 feet wide and 20 feet long.
