The question says... A rectangular garden near Stacia's home has an area of 972 square meters.
The width of the garden is 9 meters. What is the perimeter of the garden? Please Help! So confused!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Havind known the area and the width, you can easily calculate the length of the garden. The length is 

the_area%2Fthe_width = 972%2F9 = 108 meters.

Now you can easily calculate the perimeter of the garden. Take the length twice and add the width two times. You will get

the perimeter = 2*108 + 2*9.

Please make calculations yourself.
