Solution

Given, the width of the lawn, AB = EF = $4 m$ , and length of the lawn, BE = $10 m$

[2 marks]

Also, given the length of the gap, CD = $1 m$

Total length of fencing = AB + (BC + DE) + EF = AB + (BE - CD) + EF = $4 m + (10 - 1) m + 4 m = 4 + 9 + 4 m = 17 m$

Hence, the length of fencing of the lawn is $17 m$ .
