    Hi there! The answer is 3 gallons of paint

    First we need to find the circumference of the yard, which is a rectangle. We can find the circumference of a rectangle by using the following formula.

    circumference = 2 * length + 2 * width

    circumference = 2 * 3 + 2 * 2

    circumference = 10

    Therefore, the circumference of the rectangle is 10 yards.

    1 yard = 3 feet

    10 yards = 30 feet.

    Elaine needs 1 gallon of paint for each 10 feet of fencing, thus she needs a total of 3 gallons of paint to paint the fence.
