Question 276878: if a garden is shaped like a square and one side is fifteen inches long how much fencing is needed

With this problem you want to find the perimeter of the square. The formula for perimeter of a square is 4s or 4 times a side. You know that one side is 15 inches so you take 15 and multiply it by 4.
15 times 4 = 60
So you would need 60 inches of fencing to go around the garden
