HELP!! I need the answer fast

Michael is planning to put fencing along the edge of his rectangular backyard, which is 22 yards by 16 yards. One long side of the backyard is along his
house, so he will need to fence only 3 sides. How many yards of fencing will Michael need?

A.38

B.54

C.60

D.76

E.352

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Since it is along his house and it is one long, side we know that it is 22 yards long.

2. We can find the perimeter by doing: (22x2)+(16x2), so we know that the perimeter is 76 yards.

3. Since he is leaving out the long side which is 22 yards long, we subtract 22 from 76.

4. Michael will need 54 yards of fencing.

5. The answer is B.
