There is a playground that is surrounded by a square fence that has a side length of 27 yards. There is a 12 yard by 9 yard garden that has fencing around it. How many yards of fencing do the playground and garden have together? Give me reasons, before answering the question
27 * 4 = 108 yards. 2 * (12 + 9) = 42 yards. 108 + 42 = 150 yards. The playground and garden have a combined fence length of 150 yards. So the final answer is 150.
