Answer 1

The area of Carlton Garden is 96 square feet.

The width of the garden is 8 feet

We are asked to find the length of fencing Carlton would need to fence around the garden.

Recall that the area of a rectangular shape is given by

`A=L\cdot W`

Where L is the length and W is the width.

Let us substitute the values of area and width into the above formula

`\begin{gathered} A=L\cdot W \\ 96=L\cdot8 \\ L=(96)/(8) \\ L=12\: ft \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the length of fencing Carlton would need to fence around the garden is 12 feet.
