Answer:

Given:
Length of the garden = 24 m
Width of the garden = 18 m
Distance between two post = 2 m
To find: Number of post needed to fence the garden.
Shape of the garden is rectangle.
Length of the fence requires = Perimeter of the rectangle
= 2 × ( length + Width )

= 2 × 42
= 84 m
Number of posts = 84/2 = 42
