The amount of fencing needed would be equal to the perimeter of the rectangle.
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is:
Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
Therefore, the perimeter of this rectangle would be:
Perimeter = 2 * (105.55 + 75.23)
Perimeter = 2 * (180.78)
Perimeter ≈ 361.56 meters
Therefore, Toby's principal would need approximately 361.56 meters of fencing.
