The area of kens rectangular yard is 480 square feet. the yard is 24feet wide. in order to fence in the garden completely on all four sides, how many feet of fencing would ken need to buy.

88 ft

Step-by-step explanation:  Start with the formula for the area of a rectangle:

A = L*W, where L is the length and W is the width.

Here, the width is W = 24 ft, and the area i s 480 ft^2.  Thus,

A = 480 ft^2 = L (24ft), which yields L = (480/24) ft = 20 ft.

The length of the fencing required is actually the perimeter of the yard, which is P = 2L + 2W.

Substituting 20 ft for L and 24 ft for W, we get:

P = perimeter of yard = amount of fending needed:

P = 2(20 ft) + 2(24 ft) = 88 ft

Ken would need 88 ft of fencing to enclose his entire yard.
