We will see that the perimeter of the rectangle is exactly 390 ft, so the statement is true.

Is the fence enough?

For a rectangle of length L and width W, the perimeter is given by:

P = 2*(L + W).

In this case, we know that:

L = 120 ft

W = 75 ft

Replacing that on the perimeter equation we get:

P = 2*(120 ft + 75  ft) = 390 ft

So the perimeter is exactly 390 ft, meaning that to put a fence around the parking lot the company will need at least 390 ft of fence.

So the statement is correct.
