X3=30ft. of fencing. \n" ); document.write( "He has 30ft. and a 22ft perimeter garden, thus he has more than enough to surround the garden! \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope I helped! :) \n" ); document.write( "(Also, I'm not a great speller, I apologize for any errors.) \n" ); document.write( "-Rosey \n" ); document.write( " |
