Given:

Joey has a rectangular garden

The garden has a length = L = 9 feet

And a width = W = 7 feet

To fence the garden, we need to calculate the perimeter

so, perimeter of the garden = p = 2 ( Length + width )

so,


p=2\cdot(9+7)=2\cdot16=32ft

To find the amount of soil, we need to calculate the area of the rectangle:

Area = A = Lenth x Width


A=L\cdot W=9\cdot7=63ft^2

so, the answer will be:

Joey calculated he needs 32 feet of fencing to close in the garden and 63 square feet of soil to cover the garden.
