Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a plane shape is the distance around it. The yard is rectangular in shape. The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2 (length + width)

The rectangular yard is 84 ft long and 65 feet long. The perimeter of the yard is

2 (84 + 65) = 2 * 149 = 298ft²

If fencing cost $10.75 a foot, the total cost of placing fencing around the garden would be

10.75 * 298 = $3203.5 to the nearest cent.
