Question

Laurel wants to build a fence around her square garden. Each side measures 50 feet. She also wants to fence in 3 square rose beds next to her garden. Each side of a bed measures 10.5 feet. How many feet of fencing does Laurel need in all?

Laurel needs blank feet of fencing.

Answer 1

Laurel needs 326 feet of fencing

Explanation:
50×4 = 200 for the square garden Then 5×4 = 42 for one rose bed Then 42×3 = 126 for all 3 rose beds then 200(square garden)+126(all rose beds) = 326(total fencing)

Answer 2

294.5 Square feet

Explanation:

50*4=200, as the garden is a square which has 4 sides. Then we have to add 10.5*3=31.5 for each bed as they will be added in too. so 200+94.5=294.5 square feet
