Answer:

Assuming a square pasture, the length of each side of the pasture is 113.75 feet.

Explanation:

Assuming the pasture to be square shaped.

Let the length of each side of the square be l.

Then the perimeter of the pasture is 4* l

Given that the perimeter length is 455 feet

Representing this information in equation format:

=> 4* l = 455

=> l = 455/4 = 113.75 feet

So the length of each side of the pasture is 113.75 feet.

Validation: Total perimeter = 113.75 + 113.75 + 113.75 + 113.75 = 455 feet.
