Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is obtained by taking the sun of the fence :
Outer fencing :
Let's obtain b :
From Pythagoras :
b² = 15² - 12²
b = sqrt(225 - 144)
b = 9
Outer fencing = 2(12+6) + 2(8+9)
= 2(18) + 2(17)
= 36 + 34
= 70
Inner fencing :
(8 + 9 + 12 + 6 + 15 + 10) = 60
(70 + 60) = 130 yards
