To find how many feet of fence Nick will need, we need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangle.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + width)
In this case, the length is 10 feet and the width is 6 feet.
So,
Perimeter = 2 × (10 ft + 6 ft) = 2 × 16 ft = 32 ft
Therefore, Nick will need 32 feet of fence.
The correct answer is (C) 32 feet.
