We first need to know how much fencing would be needed. We can get this from the perimiter of the playground, knowing that it is a rectangle:


P=2(l+w)=2(66+42)=2(108)=216'

then we need to convert to yards to compare to the avialble fencing:


216' * (1yd)/(3ft) = 72yards

and since 72yd<75yd, yes there is enough fencing.
