Question

14. Lisa has a rectangular fence around her house. The fence is 25 feet wide and 53 feet long.Find the perimeter and area of Lisa's fence.

Answer 1

From this problem we can see that Lisa has a rectangular fence with 25ft of wide and 53 ft of long. We need to find the perimeter and the area. For the perimeter we can use this formula since we have a rectangular form:

`P=2w+2l`

Where w=25ft and l=53ft. And replacing we got:

`P=(2\cdot25ft)+(2\cdot53ft)=156ft`

And for the area we can use this formula:

`A=w\cdot l=25ft\cdot53ft=1325ft^2`
