a) 10 yards
b) 15 yards
c) 20 yards
d) 25 yards

Answer 1

To find the amount of fencing needed to enclose the pig pen, calculate the perimeter of the pen by adding up the lengths of all the sides, Mr. Levi will need about 14 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of fencing Mr. Levi will need to enclose the pig pen, we need to find the perimeter of the pig pen.

The drawing shows that the length of the pen is 4 squares and the width is 3 squares.

The perimeter is calculated by adding up the lengths of all the sides. In this case, it is 2 times the length plus 2 times the width, which is 2 * 4 + 2 * 3 = 8 + 6 = 14.

Therefore, Mr. Levi will need about 14 yards of fencing to enclose the pig pen.
