Question

14. Higher Order Thinking Mr. Conners put a

fence around the outside of his rectangular
yard shown at the right. Each section of fence
was 8 feet long, How many sections did he use?
102 ft
330 ft
330 ft

Answer 1

To find the number of sections used to fence the yard, divide the total length of the fence by the length of each section. In this case, Mr. Conners used 13 sections of fence.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of sections used to fence the yard, divide the total length of the fence by the length of each section. In this case, the total length is 102 feet and each section is 8 feet long. So, the number of sections used is 102 / 8 = 12.75. However, since the number of sections must be a whole number, we round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Mr. Conners used 13 sections of fence.

Answer 2

Mr. Conners will use 144 fence posts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete; please find the question attached herewith.

As we can see from the attachment, Mr Corner's yard is in the rectangular shape.

Total distance around the yard = Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(Length + width)

Length of the yard = 330 ft

And width of the yard = 102 ft

So perimeter of the yard = 2(330 + 102 = 864 f

Mr. Conners wants to put a fence post at every 6 feet.

So number of posts used =

=

= 144
