Joey is creating a rectangular garden. the garden is 9 feet long and 7 feet wide. joey calculated he needs blank feet of fencing to close in the garden and blank square feet of soil to cover the garden.

Ok so to measure how many feet of fencing you need you have to duplicate 9 and 7, because a rectangle has 4 sides, 2 of each value (9 or 7). 9*2=18 and 7*2=14. (18 + 14=32) You need 32 feet of fencing to close in the garden. Now the square feet are calculated multiplying length with width. 9*7=63 so you need 63 square feet of soil to cover the garden.

Hope this helped you,
