5 points

Answer 1

Answer:

82 units is the perimeter of rectangular ground

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangular garden

= 15 * 12

= 180 sq. units

area of rectangular ground = area of rectangular garden (1 equation)

let the length of the rectangular ground be x units

x*5 = 180 ( from 1 equation )

x = 180/5

x = 36

length of rectangular ground is 36 units

perimeter of rectangular ground = 2(l+b)

= 2(36+5)

= 2*41

= 82 units
