Garden netting comparison

Mr. Norton's rectangular garden measures 35 m and 27 m. Mr. Shaw's square is 29 m long. Who uses more netting to fence their garden, and how much?

Final Answer:

q = N
w =  8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} x=35\text{m} \\ y=27\text{m} \\ N=2\cdot (x+y)=2\cdot (35+27)=124\text{m} \\ a=29\text{m} \\ S=4\cdot a=4\cdot 29=116\text{m} \\ N>S \\ q=N \end{gathered}$$

$w=N-S=124-116=8\text{m}$
