Answer:

,

• (b)88 ft

Explanation:

Given a rectangular fence with the dimensions below:

• Length = 26 ft

,

• Width = 18 ft

(a)The area of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:


Area=\text{Length}* Width

Substitute the given values:


A=26*18=468\; ft^2

The area of the fence is 468 ft².

(b)The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:


Perimeter=2(\text{Length+}Width)

Substitute the given values:


P=2(26+18)=2*44=88\; ft

The perimeter of the fence is 88 ft.
