campbell_st · Answer

so what do you know about a square @samuel_1072

anonymous · Answer

Each side measures 50 feet @campbell_st

campbell_st · Answer

so you need to know a square has 4 equal sides.... 

so the perimeter is 4 lots of 50. 

the same reasoning can be used for each of the smaller square rose beds... 

find the perimeter of one rose bed to start.

then there are 3 identical... so what is the total perimeters of the rose beds.

Lastly, add the perimeter of the garden bed, to the perimeters of the 3 rose beds.
