**a) Chandrakala's Square Garden**

Let the side of the square be $$ s = 18 $$ m.

**(i) Perimeter of the Garden**

A square's perimeter is given by:
$$
P = 4 \times s
$$
Substitute $$ s = 18 $$ m:
$$
P = 4 \times 18 = 72 \text{ m}
$$

**(ii) Length of Wire Required for Three Rounds**

For three rounds, the total wire length is:
$$
\text{Total wire} = 3 \times P = 3 \times 72 = 216 \text{ m}
$$

**(iii) Total Cost of Fencing**

If the cost per meter is Rs 25, then the total cost is:
$$
\text{Cost} = 216 \times 25 = 5400 \text{ Rupees}
$$

**b) Square Shaped Fish Pond**

The total wire used for three rounds is $$ 540 $$ m.

**(i) Length of Wire for One Round**

Let the wire required for one round be $$ L $$. Since three rounds use $$ 540 $$ m:
$$
3L = 540 \quad \Rightarrow \quad L = \frac{540}{3} = 180 \text{ m}
$$

**(ii) Perimeter of the Pond**

Since the pond is square shaped, the perimeter is equal to $$ L $$ for one round:
$$
P = 180 \text{ m}
$$

**(iii) Length of One Side of the Pond**

Let the length of one side be $$ s $$. The perimeter of a square is:
$$
P = 4 \times s
$$
Substitute $$ P = 180 $$ m:
$$
4s = 180 \quad \Rightarrow \quad s = \frac{180}{4} = 45 \text{ m}
$$
**a) Chandrakala's Square Garden** - **Perimeter:** 72 meters - **Wire for Three Rounds:** 216 meters - **Total Fencing Cost:** Rs 5,400 **b) Square Shaped Fish Pond** - **Wire per Round:** 180 meters - **Perimeter:** 180 meters - **Length of One Side:** 45 meters
