Answer:

The total length of the white picket fence is 32 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of plot = 9 m

Let the breadth of the plot be x

So, Area of Plot = [tex]Length \times Breadth[/tex]

                         = [tex]9 \times x[/tex]

We are given that Area of rectangular plot is 63 sq.m.

So, [tex]9 \times x = 63[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{63}{9}[/tex]

[tex]x = 7[/tex]

All four sides are enclosed by a white picket fence.

Perimeter of plot = [tex]2(l+b)[/tex]

                            =[tex]2(9+7)[/tex]

                            =[tex]32[/tex]

So, the total length of the white picket fence is 32 m.
