Gwen is sketching the layout of a flower garden. The perimeter of her flower garden is 18.39 m. Gwen is going to fence in only the solid sides of the figure. She will not fence in the side indicated by the dashed line measuring 4.04 m.

What is the total length of the sides that Gwen will fence in?

1 answer

To find the total length of the sides Gwen will fence in, we can subtract the length of the dashed line from the perimeter: 18.39 m - 4.04 m = <<18.39-4.04=14.35>>14.35 m. Answer: \boxed{14.35}.
