15m, 10m

Explanation:

Let
l= the length od the garden
2/3l= the width of the garden

P= 2length + 2width = 50

50= 2l+2(2/3l)

Simplifying further,
50=2l+4/3l
50=10/3l
l=15

width=2/3l
width=2/3*15
width=10

Length = 15 metres
Width = 10 metres

Explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)

50 m = 2(l + b) ……[1]

50 m = 2(l + 2/3l)

50 m = (10l)/3

l = 15 m

Substitute l=15m in equation [1]

50 m = 2(15 + b)

50/2m = 15 + b

b = 10m
