If you would like to know how many feet of fencing does Laurel need in all, you can calculate this using the following steps:

square garden: 4 * 50 feet = 200 feet
3 square rose beds: 3 * 10.5 feet * 4 = 12 * 10.5 feet = 126 feet

200 feet + 126 feet = 326 feet

Laurel will need 326 feet of fencing.
