Answer: Jordana will need 92 feet of fencing

Explanation:

Given: Length of rectangle = 28 feet

Width of rectangle = 14 feet

Diameter of semicircle = 14 feet

Therefore radius of semicircle : r =
(Diamater)/(2) =(AB)/(2) =(14)/(2) =7 \text { feet }

Now we have to find the perimeter of attached figure for putting fence around a garden


Perimeter = 2 Length +Width + \text {Circumference of semicircle }\\\\\Rightarrow Perimeter = 2* AD+DC + \pi r\\\\\Rightarrow Perimeter = 2* 28+14 +(22)/(7) * 7 \\\\\Rightarrow Perimeter = 56+14+22 = 92 \text {feet}

Hence, jordana will need 92 feet of fencing
