Question

mr.hodges wants to bulid a fence around his entire rectangular garden what is the distance around the garden. 6=feet 30=height

Answer 1

Answer: The perimeter for the garden will be 72ft, so Mr. Hodges needs 72 feets of fence.

Explanation:

We have a rectangle, where the sides are of 6 feet one and 30 feet the other,

Now, the perimeter of a rectangle is equal to two times each side, so if we have a shorter and a longer side we have

Perimeter = 2*shorter + 2*longer

here shorter = 6ft and longer = 30ft.

So we have:

P = 2*6ft + 2*30ft = 12ft + 60ft = 72ft
