While visiting a village garden, Emek and Luna helped protect a flower bed by building a fence. They measured the four sides of the garden area: 7 meters, 6 meters, 9 meters, and 6 meters. They added the side lengths to find the total fence needed. The perimeter was 28 meters, so they gathered exactly enough fencing to surround the flowers. The garden was ready, and the colorful plants stayed safe.

Hint
Start with the garden fence length from the story and add the new fencing.
The villagers added 5 more meters of fencing to make the garden entrance. How many meters of fencing do they have now in total?
Correct! 28 meters plus 5 meters equals 33 meters.
Use the original 28 meters of fencing before adding the extra 5 meters.

Find the perimeter of the second flower bed and compare it with 28 meters.
A second flower bed has sides of 8 meters, 5 meters, 8 meters, and 5 meters. Which statement is true when comparing it with the garden in the story?
The second flower bed has a smaller perimeter.The second flower bed has the same perimeter as the garden.The second flower bed has a perimeter of 15 meters.The second flower bed has no perimeter.Correct! 8 + 5 + 8 + 5 equals 26, so smaller than the first one.
