Answer 1

56

Explanation:

5×2 +9×2=28

28 × 2 =56

Answer 2

56m

Explanation:

First calculate the perimeter of the sheep pen.

The perimeter is all the side lengths added together.

The rectangle has two sides that are 5m long and two sides that are 9m long.

5 + 5 + 9 + 9 = 28m

Now that you know the perimeter of the sheep pen you can double it by multiplying by 2 to find tha perimeter of the cow pen.

28 * 2 = 56m
