Answer:

Stanley needs 31 feet and 2 inches of fencing.

Explanation:

In order to answer this problem, you need to find the perimeter of the dog run.

Since:
P=2(l+w)

and
l=149 inches &
w=56 inches

Plug in what we know :


P=2(149+56)

and solve:


P=410 inches

The dog run has a perimeter of 410 inches.

However, now we need to subtract 36 inches since the gate doesn't need fencing.


410-36=374 inches.

The dog run needs 374 inches of fencing.

In order to find out how many feet of fencing that is, divide it by 12.


(374)/(12) = 31.16666667 OR
31(2)/(12), meaning 31 feet and 2 inches.
