Question

Joshua has 245 feet of fence. His rectangular yard is 54 feet by 78 feet. Does Joshua have enough fence for his yard?

Answer 1

We can calculate the perimeter of the rectangular yard to find out how much fence Joshua needs:

`P=2(78+54)=2(132)=264ft`

since the perimeter of the yard is 264 yards, then Joshua does not have enough fence for his yard, since he only has 245 t of fence, and he needs 264ft
