Mr. Brown needs to buy some fencing for his garden (too many rabbits have been getting in and eating the vegetables). If his garden is twenty-three meters by thirty-four meters and is in the shape of a rectangle, what length of fence does he need to build?
2(23) + 2(34) = perimeter = ?

To find the length of the fence Mr. Brown needs to build, we can use the formula for perimeter of a rectangle. The formula is:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
In this case, the length of the garden is 23 meters and the width is 34 meters.
Substituting these values into the formula, we have:
Perimeter = 2(23 + 34)
Simplifying the expression inside the parentheses, we have:
Perimeter = 2(57)
Now, multiplying 2 by 57, we get:
Perimeter = 114 meters
Therefore, Mr. Brown needs to build a fence with a length of 114 meters around his garden to keep the rabbits out.
