Answer:
92 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the garden has the shape shown below.
The length of fencing equals the distance around three sides of the rectangle plus that around the semicircle.
1. Around the rectangle
Distance = 28 ft + 14 ft + 28 ft = 70 ft
2. Around the semicircle
For a circle.
C = 2πr
For the semicircle,
½C =½(2πr) = πr
D = 14 ft, so
r = 7 ft
[tex]\text{Distance} = \dfrac{22}{7} \times \text{7 ft} = \text{22 ft}[/tex]
3. Total distance
Distance = 70 ft + 22 ft = 92 ft
Jordan will need 92 ft of fencing.
