Question

samatha is buliding a fence around her house Her property is in the shape of a rectangle that measures 45 feet by 80 feet How many feet of fencing should she buy

Answer 1

you add 45 by 45 then add 80 by 80 then add the two together. You get 250
so 250 should be the answer

Answer 2

since the fencing is on the outside of the rectangle you would find the perimeter so 80 + 80+ 45+ 45 which equals 250 feet!
