Answer:

105 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The other side is Width = 374/17 = 22.

So, the new width is 44 ( and the length is 17/2).

Perimeter = 2(17/2) + 2(44) = 17+88=105 yds.

So, 105 yards.

The perimeter of the new garden is 105 yards

The area of a rectangle is expressed as:

  • A = lw

w = A/l

w = 374/17

w = 22 yards

The perimeter of the new garden if the width is doubled is expressed as:

P = 2(l + w)

P = 2(17/2 + 2(22))

P = 17 + 88

P = 105 yards

Hence the perimeter of the new garden is 105 yards
