Question

A rectangular vegetable garden is 10 yards by 7 yards. what is the perimeter of the garden in feet?

Answer 1

34yds = 102ft

therefore; 1 yd = 3 ft

perimeter in ft( feet) is 102ft.

Answer 2

Answer: The perimeter of the garden is: " 102 ft. " .
___________________________________________________
Note:
___________________________________________________

→ P = 2L + 2w ;

in which: "P = perimeter (for which we wish to solve)" ;
"L = length = 10 yds. (given) " ;
"w = width = 7 yds. (given)" .
___________________________________________________
Plug in the given values; and solve for the perimeter, "P" :

→ P = 2L + 2w ;

= 2(10) + 2(7) ;

= 20 + 14 ;

= 34 yds.
____________________________________
The perimeter is: 34 yds.

Now, we are asked to convert this into: "feet (ft.)." .

Note the "exact conversion" : "3 ft. = 1 yd." ;
_________________________________________________
→ 34 yds. *
`(3 ft)/(1 yd)` = (34 * 3) ft. = 102 ft.

Answer: The perimeter of the garden is: " 102 ft. " .
