Question

How many feet of fencing is needed to fence in a 130 feet by 225 feet area?

Answer 1

710 feet of fencing is needed

Explanation:

1.Formula ⇒
`perimeter=length+length+width+width`

2. Plug in the length and width ⇒
`perimeter=130+130+225+225`

3. Solve. ⇒
`130+130+225+225=710`

Answer 2

710 ft

Explanation:

Based on the words "fence in" you can tell that they want you to solve for the perimeter, not the area.

Since the sides are 130 ft by 225 ft this means that the other two sides are also 130 ft by 225 ft. Now you can add all of these measurements up.

130 + 225 + 130 + 225 = 710
