Refer to the above figure, which shows a rectangular garden (in green) surrounded by a dirt path (in orange) seven feet wide throughout. What is the perimeter of the garden?

The inner rectangle, which represents the garden, has length and width (100−2×7)=86 feet and (60−2×7)=46 feet, respectively, so its perimeter is

P=86+86+46+46=264 feet.
