The perimeter of johns rectangular garden is 36 feet the garden is 12 feet wide what is the length of fencing john will need to buy in order to fence in the garden completely on all four sides?

I think the answer is 6 for 1 length side. And in you need 12 for both length sides. So the total is 36 and one side is 12. Since it's a rectangle, you now know two side lengths since they are the same, just opposite from each other. So 12 + 12 = 24. You do 36 - 24 because you need to get the total number for length which is 12. 12 divided by 2 is 6 which is one length side. You can check by doing 6 + 6 + 12 + 12 and you get 36.

All you do Is 36 divided by 12 which equals to 3 so the answer is 3
