1) Let's draw this to better understand this

So, in other words, the problem is questioning us about the Perimeter(2P).

W=29 and L=22

w+w+l+l =2P

2w+2l=2P

2P= 2(w+l) Pluggin into the formula:

2P=2(29+22)

2P=2(51)

2P=102 feet

2) So we'll need 102 feet of fence to enclose that rectangular garden.
