Answer: 120 ft

Explanation:

The question simply wants us to find the perimeter of the rectangle. The dimensions of the rectangle space have been given as 36ft by 24ft, to calculate the amount of fencing Chris need to buy will be:

Perimeter of a rectangle= 2(l+w)

where, l = length

w = width

Perimeter= 2(l+w)

= 2(36+24)

= 2 × 60

= 120ft

Chris needs to buy 120ft of fencing.
