Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The length fence are needed for the total perimeter is:

                                   54 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the dimensions of the rectangular are are:

                 12 feet x 15 feet

Now, the fence is to be placed across the perimeter of the rectangular area this means that the perimeter of this rectangular region is equal to the length of the fence required.

We know that the perimeter of the rectangle with dimension a×b is given by:

Perimeter=2(a+b)

Here we have: a=12 feet

and b=15 feet

Hence, the perimeter is:

Perimeter=2(12+15)

i.e.

Perimeter=2(27)

i.e.

              Perimeter= 54 feet.
