Answer:

So he will need 168 feet of fencing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter formula of a rectangle is P=(2xL)+(2xW)

The length is 12 and the width is 9.

First, do P=(2x12)+(2x9), P=24+18 P=42 feet

Next, since there are four pens multiply the perimeter of 1 pen by 4.

4x42=168 feet of fencing

So, Don will need 168 feet of fencing.
