Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To calculate the amount of fence Paul needs, we need to find the perimeter of the rectangular garden.

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding twice the length to twice the width.

Given that the length of the garden is 15 feet and the width is 8 feet, we can calculate the perimeter as follows:

Perimeter = 2 * length + 2 * width
= 2 * 15ft + 2 * 8ft
= 30ft + 16ft
= 46ft

Therefore, Paul will need 46 feet of fence to surround his rectangular garden.

Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find out how much fence Paul used, we need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangular garden. The perimeter of a rectangle is found by adding up all of its sides.

1. The length of the garden is 15 feet, so there are two sides with a length of 15 feet each.

2. The width of the garden is 8 feet, so there are two sides with a length of 8 feet each.

To calculate the perimeter, we add up all the sides:

15 + 15 + 8 + 8 = 46 feet

Therefore, Paul used 46 feet of fence.
