Answer:
Mark needs 110 ft. fencing to surround all 4 gardens.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mark wants to fence 4 rectangular gardens. So we calculate the perimeter of the each garden by this formula
P = 2(L) + 2(W)
Total Length of the garden = [tex]9\frac{1}{4} + 9\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{37}{4}+ \frac{37}{4}[/tex]
Length = 18.5 feet
Total width of the garden = [tex]4\frac{1}{2} + 4\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{9}{2}+ \frac{9}{2}[/tex]
Width = 9.0 feet
Perimeter of the garden = 18.5 + 9 = 27.5 feet
Mark wants to fence 4 garden
Therefore, 27.5 × 4 = 110 feet.
Mark needs 110 ft. fencing to surround all 4 gardens.
