A garden is 10 Ft long and 8 Ft wide. How much fence is needed to surround all four sides?

Answer 1

You are looking for the perimeter of the garden. If it is a rectangle. P = 2L + 2W

2 (10ft) + 2 (8ft)

= 20 + 16 ft

= 36 ft

Or you can look at it as walking around the garden and measuring the lengths. 10 + 8 + 10 + 8 = 36 ft
