At first we will find the slope of the line that <span>passes through the points A and B
</span>
<span>A ( -10,8), B(2,3)
slope = (Δy)/(Δx) = (3-8)/(2-(-10)) = -5/12

the require line is parallel to the line </span><span><span>passes through the points A and B
</span>∴ the slope of the line </span><span>that passes through Point X = -5/12
and have a general form
   y = m x + c
where m is the slope and c is constant
the constant can be calculated by substituting with the point x (-5,10) in the equation of general form
∴ 10 = (-5/12)*-5 + c
   c = 10 - 25/12 = 95/12
∴ y = (-5/12)x +95/12  ⇒⇒⇒⇒ multiplying the equation by 12

∴ 12y = -5x +95

He will be making a right triangle with the legs being 24 x 45. The diagonal will be the hypotenuse of the triangle. To find the amount of fencing we need the perimeter of the triangle.
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
24^2 + 45^2 = c^2
576 + 2025 = c^2
2601 = c^2
sqrt 2601 = c
c = 51
Adding the three lengths the total fencing needed is
51+24+45=120 meters
