Answer 1

Raul needs 42 yards of fence.

Explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle:

The perimeter of a rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

P = 2(l + w)

In this question:

The fence is rectangular.

12 yards long means that l = 12.

9 yards wide means that w = 9.

Perimeter:

P = 2(12 + 9) = 2(21) = 42

Raul needs 42 yards of fence.
