    Are you asking us to do the work for you? I'm not even sure how to post grid paper on the computer, with the work needed.

    This is your homework assignment, and you have to do it. We're willing to help by giving you tips, or telling you what you did wrong, but we won't do the work for you. There will be a test, and we can't take the test for you, so you have to learn to do this.

    Having said that, math sucks! It sucks big time. Hardest subject in my opinion. If you're having problems understanding it, talk to your teacher, or ask another classmate for help. That's part of learning, learning to figure out how to solve problems you don't understand.

    Good luck. :)

    I suck at math, but think about this question logically. Get the grid paper, look at it.

    From what you wrote we don't know the dimensions of the yard. If it's a square yard, and the 18 feet of fencing is enough to surround it, then what would each length of fence, all four sides, need to be. 18 divided by 4.

    Now, what if the yard isn't a perfect square, what if two sides are longer than the other? How would you figure that out? You cold make two sides the same length, and the other two the same length.

    What if each part of the yard is a different length? That's the most likely scenario, because most yards aren't perfectly squared, or have equal lengths.

    In other words, you get to choose what shape, size and dimensions, the yard is. You choose based on the 18 feet of fencing you have.

    Does that help?
