Sulio wants to build a wooden fence to enclose his vegetable garden. Determine the amount of fencing he needs by finding the perimeter of the garden.

Given:
[tex]\[ P = 2l + 2w \][/tex]
[tex]\[ w = 6 \text{ ft} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ l = 8 \text{ ft} \][/tex]

Evaluate the formula for the perimeter of a parallelogram to solve the problem. Then check all that apply.

First, write the formula for the perimeter of a parallelogram: [tex]\[ P = 2l + 2w \][/tex]

Next, use parentheses when you substitute 8 for [tex]\[ l \][/tex] and 6 for [tex]\[ w \][/tex].

[tex]\[ P = 2(8) + 2(6) \][/tex]

After multiplying, add 16 and 12.

Sulio needs:
A. 28 feet of fencing.
B. 48 feet of fencing.

To determine the amount of fencing Sulio needs, we'll find the perimeter of his garden, which has the dimensions provided.

1. Write the formula for the perimeter of a parallelogram:
[tex]\[ P = 2l + 2w \][/tex]

2. Substitute the given values into the formula:
- Length [tex]\( l = 8 \)[/tex] feet
- Width [tex]\( w = 6 \)[/tex] feet

Now substitute these values into the formula:
[tex]\[ P = 2(8) + 2(6) \][/tex]

3. Multiply the terms:
- Calculate [tex]\( 2 \times 8 = 16 \)[/tex]
- Calculate [tex]\( 2 \times 6 = 12 \)[/tex]

4. Add the results:
- Sum the two products: [tex]\( 16 + 12 = 28 \)[/tex]

Therefore, Sulio needs 28 feet of fencing to enclose his vegetable garden.

Finally, checking the statements provided:
- "Sulio needs 28 feet of fencing" is correct.
- "Sulio needs 48 feet of fencing" is incorrect.

Sulio needs exactly 28 feet of fencing for his project.
