Of course! To find out how many feet of fencing are needed for the perimeter of the horse pasture, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle which is:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
In this case, the length of the pasture is given as 78 feet and the width is given as 68 feet. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Perimeter = 2 * (78 + 68)
Perimeter = 2 * 146
Perimeter = 292 feet
So, 292 feet of fencing are needed for the pasture.
