The width of a garden, is the half of the length. The circumference is 39 meters. At a distance of 2 meters from all sides is applied a lawn in the middle. How many m² is the surface of the lawn?

First let's find the dimensions of the garden    l = length  l/2 = width

 

 

perimeter = 39 = l + l/2 + l + l/2      results in l = 13    l/2 = 6.5 meters

 

The 'lawn' in the middle is 2+2    =  4   meters less in dimensions   or   9 x 2.5 = 22.5 m^2
