The area of Mike's rectangular garden is 360 feet the garden is 12 feet wide what is the length of fencing mike need to buy in order

to fence in the garden completely on all four sides

Area = length multiplied my width

360=area
12=width

360 divided by 12= 30ft

A = LW

360 = L * 12
360/12 = L
30 = Length

P = 2L + 2W

so 20 + 12 + 30 + 12 :)

I mean 30 + 12 + 30 + 12

To find the length of fencing Mike needs to buy, we need to determine the dimensions of the rectangular garden first. We know that the area of the garden is 360 square feet and the width is 12 feet.

To find the length, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle: length x width = area.

Let's substitute the given values into the formula:

Length x 12 = 360

To isolate the length, we divide both sides of the equation by 12:

Length = 360 / 12

Simplifying the equation gives us:

Length = 30

Therefore, the length of the rectangular garden is 30 feet. Since Mike needs to fence in all four sides of the garden, he would need to buy fencing with a total length of 2 times the length plus 2 times the width:

Total length of fencing = (2 x Length) + (2 x Width)

Substituting the values we found:

Total length of fencing = (2 x 30) + (2 x 12)
= 60 + 24
= 84

Therefore, Mike needs to buy 84 feet of fencing in order to fence in the garden completely on all four sides.
