anonymous · Answer

the total fencing = the fence of the front yard + the fence of the back yard

we will assume that the front yard and the back yard are rectangles

the total fencing = 2(65 + 45) + 2(35 + 45)

the total fencing = 2*110 + 2*80

the total fencing = 220 + 160

the total fencing = *your answer*
