Is there space between them or do they share a side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

space between

OpenStudy (mertsj):

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
