A swimming pool in the shape of a rectangle is surrounded by 3 feet of walkway. the pool is 23 feet wide and 32 feet long. how long would the fence be that just encloses the walkway and the pool?

Dimensions of walkway and pool= (23+3) x (32+3) => 26ft x 35 ft

Perimeter: 2(l+w)
= 2 (26ft + 35ft)
= 122 ft fence would be required to enclose the walkway and the pool.
