What parameter (area, perimeter,etc.) of a square will be required to find the length of the fence?

Start at one corner and walk to the next corner. How many feet have you gone? Now turn 90 degrees and walk to the next corner. What is the total distance you have walked now? Continue to the fourth corner and then back to the first corner.

Also, migdalia2002m, tell us how many feet are in one yard.

300x 4= 1200 feet divide it by 3 u will get yards i.e 400 yards fencing
