Question

540m of wire is required to fence a square shaped of fish pond with three rounds. What is the length of wire required for one round?what is the perimeter of the pond?

Answer 1

Answer: S or L = 180 meters, Perimeter = 720 meters

Explanation:

the formula to find the perimeter of a square shaped is,

P = 4s

where:

P = Perimeter, 4 is constant (since a square has 4 sides)

S = Length of one side.

540m of wire = per 3 rounds

to find S, simply:

divide 540m to 3 rounds, so

540 / 3 = 180m of wire is requires per or one round/side.

going back to the formula of perimeter "P = 4s", simply substitute the value of S

P = 4(180m)

P = 720 meters
