Given:
Joey has a rectangular garden
The garden has a length = L = 9 feet
And a width = W = 7 feet
To fence the garden, we need to calculate the perimeter
so, perimeter of the garden = p = 2 ( Length + width )
so,
[tex]p=2\cdot(9+7)=2\cdot16=32ft[/tex]To find the amount of soil, we need to calculate the area of the rectangle:
Area = A = Lenth x Width
[tex]A=L\cdot W=9\cdot7=63ft^2[/tex]so, the answer will be:
Joey calculated he needs 32 feet of fencing to close in the garden and 63 square feet of soil to cover the garden.
