Ray needs 56.4 feet of fencing to surround the garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of square garden = 200 ft²

As the garden is in square shaped.

Let a be the one side of square

Area = a²

$a^2=200$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{a^2}=\sqrt{200}\\a=14.1 \ft$

For the measure of fencing, we will find the perimeter.

Perimeter = 4a

Perimeter = $4(14.1) = 56.4 ft$

Ray needs 56.4 feet of fencing to surround the garden.
