A farmer wants to fence in three sqaure garden plots situated along a road, as shown, and he decides not to install fencing along the edge of the road. If he has 182ft of fencing material total, what dimensions should he make each square plot?
Where's the "as shown" part?

its just 3 boxes like that no numbers or anything
but of course they are all equal in size
Is there space between them or do they share a side?
space between
So he is going to fence 9 equal sides with 182 feet of fence. Guess each side should be 182 divided by 9.
the picture looks like they may be asking for the length and width of each......but thats not for sure would that change the answer any
I thought you said they were squares.
