A gardner is calculating the perimeter of a rectangular garden, which has a length of 25 feet. The area of the garden is 400 square feet. What is the perimeter of the garden?

Write the equation:

could it be this?

p=400/25+400/25+25+25

yes

width = 400/25 = 16
Prm= 2(25+16) =82 , which is your answer

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you need two measurements - the length and the width. In this case, the length is given as 25 feet, but the width is not given.

However, you are provided with the area of the garden, which is 400 square feet. The formula to calculate the area of a rectangle is A = length * width.

So we can set up an equation using the given information:
400 = 25 * width

To solve for the width, divide both sides of the equation by 25:
width = 400 / 25
width = 16 feet

Now that we have both the length (25 feet) and the width (16 feet), we can calculate the perimeter of the garden using the formula: P = 2 * (length + width).

Substituting the values into the formula:
P = 2 * (25 + 16)
P = 2 * 41
P = 82 feet

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangular garden is 82 feet.
