    12 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If the length is to be twice the width, you can use that in a formule.

    Supose the width is represented by the letter w, then the length can be written in terms of w. So length = 2w

    The comlete surrounding needs to be 36 feet

    2 * (w + 2w) = 36

    2 * 3w = 36

    6w = 36 therefore w = 36/6 = 6

    With = 6 feet, Length = 12 feet

    So the length of the garden is 12 feet.
