Aplot of land contains a 16-ft-by-20-ft garden, which is surrounded by a 2-ft wide wall on all sides. what is the perimeter of the entire plot of land

The perimeter of the entire plot of land is 88 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- A plot of land contains a garden

- The dimension of the garden are 16 feet by 20 feet

- The garden is surrounded by a 2 feet wide wall on all sides

- That means its dimension of the garden will increase by 2 feet

  from each side

- Let the width of the garden is 16 feet and its length is 20 feet

∵ The width of the garden is 16 feet

∵ It is increased from each side by 2 feet

∴ The width of plot land = 16 + 2 + 2 = 20 feet

∵ The length of the garden is 20 feet

∵ It is increased from each side by 2 feet

∴ The length of plot land = 20 + 2 + 2 = 24 feet

∴ The dimensions of the entire plot of land are 20 feet by 24 feet

∵ The perimeter of the land = 2(the sum of its dimensions)

∵ The dimensions are 20 feet and 24 feet

∴ The perimeter of it = 2(20 + 24) = 2(44) = 88 feet

∴ The perimeter of the entire plot of land is 88 feet
