To find the amount of fence needed to surround the garden, you need to calculate the perimeter of the garden. The perimeter is the sum of all the side lengths.
Given the side lengths:
- 2.1 meters
- 3.5 meters
- 1.9 meters
- 2.25 meters
You can add these lengths together:
\[ \text{Perimeter} = 2.1 + 3.5 + 1.9 + 2.25 \]
Calculating this step by step:
- \(2.1 + 3.5 = 5.6\)
- \(5.6 + 1.9 = 7.5\)
- \(7.5 + 2.25 = 9.75\)
Thus, the total perimeter is:
\[ \text{Perimeter} = 9.75 \text{ meters} \]
Therefore, you will need 9.75 meters of fence to surround the garden.
