Question

Mr. Brinkley has a triangular-shaped area for

his horses with sides measuring 30 meters, 64
meters, and 87 meters. He would like to
enclose this area with a fence. If the fencing
comes in 2.5-meter sections, how many
sections of fence will he need?

Answer 1

72.4

Explanation:

total perimeter = 30 + 64 +87= 181 m

length of sections = 2.5 m

number of sections needed= 181 ÷ 2.5= 72.4
