Question 1034051: A rectangular garden measures 3 feet by 15 feet. The gardener decides to extend the garden 2 feet in each of the four directions. What is the perimeter of the new garden in feet?. Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2 X (15+3)=36 feet in perimeter;
In order to extend the garden 2 feet in each direction, he must extend his measurements four feet each side, thus:
2X(15+4)+ 2X(3+4)=P
38+14=P
P=52 feet!!!!!!!!
