Answer:

68 feets of fencing

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Area of square garden = 289 ft²

The side length of square garden can be obtained thus :

Area of a square = s²

Where s = side length

s² = 289

s = sqrt(289)

s = 17

Perimeter of square garden : 4s

Perimeter = 4* 17 = 68 feets
