You can put this solution on YOUR website! Starting with the perimeter (P = 2(L+W)) which must be at least 120 meters (, we have: but L = 2W "...rectangular garden...twice as long as it is wide...", so substitute L = 2W... Simplify the left side and divide both sides by 2. Divide both sides by 3.
The width must be at least 20 meters.
