Question

Mr. Conners put a fence around the outside of his rectangular yard shown at the right. He put a fence post every 6 feet. How many fence posts did he use?

Answer 1

A rectangular has four sides (6+6=12 + 6 = 18+6= 24) So, the correct answer is “Mr.Conners use 4 fence posts outside the yard”
[Please correct me if I am wrong]

Answer 2

Mr. Conners will use 144 fence posts.

Explanation:

Given question is incomplete; please find the question attached herewith.

As we can see from the attachment, Mr Corner's yard is in the rectangular shape.

Total distance around the yard = Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(Length + width)

Length of the yard = 330 ft

And width of the yard = 102 ft

So perimeter of the yard = 2(330 + 102)

= 864 ft

Mr. Conners wants to put a fence post at every 6 feet.

So number of posts used =
`\frac{\text{Perimeter of the yard}}{\text{Distance between two fence pots}}`

=
`(864)/(6)`

= 144

Therefore, Mr. Conners will use 144 fence posts.
