A rose garden is designed by joining a rectangle and a semicircle, as shown below. The rectangle is 35ft long and 28 ft wide. If the gardener wants to build a fence around the garden, how many feet of fence are required? (Use the value 3.14 for pi, and do not round your answer. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.)

Ok that means the the diameter of the semicircle equals the width ( 28 feet) The length of fence required = distance around the garden = 2*35 + 28 + 1/2 * 3.14* 28
