A builder is installing a fence on all sides of a backyard. The yard is 50ft long and 40 ft wide. How much fencing will the builder need?

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to find the perimeter of the fence by adding all of the sides together.

50 + 50 + 40 + 40 = 180

So, the perimeter, or amount of fencing needed, is 180 ft.

Hope this helps!
