nancy wants to put up a fence around a rectangular garden. the garden measures 12ft by 18ft. how much fencing is required
To find out how much fencing is required, you need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangular garden.
The formula to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle is:
Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
Given that the length of the garden is 12 ft and the width is 18 ft, the calculation becomes:
Perimeter = 2 * (12 + 18)
Perimeter = 2 * 30
Perimeter = 60 ft
Therefore, 60 feet of fencing is required to surround the rectangular garden.
