A gardener would like to keep animals out of his rectangular garden by putting up a fence. Find how much fencing is needed to enclose the garden if its dimensions are 82 feet by 91 feet. (8 marks)

Please help me! I really need to pass!

For this, we need to find the perimeter because the fence goes around the edge of the garden.

Since it’s a rectangle, there are two pairs of sides that have the same length.
82 + 82 + 91 + 91 = 346

The gardener needs 346ft of fencing
