Question

Isaac is starting a garden he has a space that is 8 feet wide by 7 1/2 feet long if he wants to put in a fence that goes around outside the garden how many inches of the fencing dose he need

Answer 1

Answer: 372 inches

Explanation:

Given that :

Width = 8 feets

Length = 7 1/2 feets

The inches of fencing needed is obtained by calculating the perimeter of the garden :

Perimeter of rectangle (p) : 2(length + Width)

P = 2(7 1/2 + 8)

P = 2(15 1/2)

P = 31 feets

1 foot = 12 inches

31 feets = (12 * 31 ) = 372 inches
