The pen is supposed to be 42.6 feet long and 28.5 feet wide. How many feet of chicken coop wire are needed to form the pen?

142.2 feet of wire are needed to form the pen. To solve you must find the perimeter. You do this by multiplying the length and width by two then adding them together. You could also use the equation: l2+w2

l = length

w = width
