You can put this solution on YOUR website! Answering can only be done using symbols because you do not show your figure and you give no variable names nor values.
The rectangle part has dimensions x and y, and the semicircle's diameter x, will match the x dimension of the rectangle. The fence material length needed will be 1*x+2*y, for the three straight sides of the rectangle, and then (1/2)(2*pi*x) for the half-circle part.
The sum of all those is ;
That's it, until you know some values or know how they are further related.
