If a gardener fences in the total rectangular area shown in the illustration instead of just the square area, he will need twice as much fencing to enclose the garden. how much fencing will he need?

He needs 5x+56 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much of fencing he needs , we find the perimeter of the given figure

All sides are equal in a square

To find perimeter of the square we add all the sides

4 sides we have for the square

one side is x, so perimeter of square = x+x+x+x= 4x

Now we find perimeter of rectangle

Opposite sides of rectangle are equal

Here for rectangle we consider only three sides

because fourth side is common for rectangle and square

So perimeter of the rectangle (with 3 sides) = 28 +x+ 28 = 56+x

Total fencing = perimeter of square + perimeter of rectangle

4x + 56 + x= 5x+56
