the dimensions of the fence are 3x and x, which means its area is 3x^2. If the area of the total space is 1600 and the difference in area between garden space and enclosed fence area is 400, then 3x^2+400=1600, or x=20.

The length therefore is 60.

This is kind of a confusinq question tho: are they asking for perimeter or length?
