The length of rectangular swimming pool = 25 feet

The width of the swimming pool = 12 feet

The pool is surrounded by a fence which is h feet from each side

So, length of fence becomes = 25+2h

Width of fence becomes = 12+2h

The expression for the length of the fence is 25+2h feet

2h because 'h' increases for both ends of the length of the pool.
