Answer:
The length of the side of the garden = 120 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The expenditure of fencing a square garden with one fold of wire = 42240 / 4
= 10560
∵The price of fencing was 22 per metre
∴ The price of fencing one metre = 10560 / 22
= 480
∴ The perimeter of square garden = 480
∴ Perimeter of square garden = ( side )²
∴ 480 = 4 * side
∴ side = 480 / 4
= 120 m
