Answer:

5.04 m

Step-by-step explanation:

You are told that the homeowner wants to increase their fences by 34 percent meaning Original+ 34 percent. If the original is 100 percent, then the new fence size will be 134 % of the original. You are given the original which is 3.76 meters, to find new fence size 1.34 * 3.76m to get 5.0384 meters, rounded to 5.04 m.
