Assume that the playground and beds do not overlap.
The total fencing material required to fence the playground and both flower beds is or the first blanks possible answers are 2(l+w)+2(4a) 2(l+w)+4a 2(lw)+2a lw+4a the second blank possible answers are 2l+2w+8a 2l+2w+4a 2lw+2A lw+4a w= width l=length a=area
