=======
You'll need enough for 2 sides that are 6 ft, and 2 sides that are 11 ft.
Add those.

This problem is asking you to find the perimeter of your garden so you can fence it. We know that the formula for perimeter of a rectangle is 2w%2B2l=p. We know the length and the width, so we can just plug it in.

2%2811%29%2B2%286%29=p

22%2B12=p

34=p

So, the length of fencing you need to fence your entire garden is 34 feet. Hope this helps!
