Question

1. A fence company is measuring a rectangular

area in order to install a fence around its
perimeter. If the length of the rectangular area
is 140 yards and the width is 75 feet, what is the
total distance to be fenced in feet?

Answer 1

990 ft

Explanation:

1 yard = 3 feet, using this we can multiply 140 by 3 to convert it from yards to feet.

140 yd * 3 = 420 ft.

Next, to find the perimeter we need to follow this formula:

l + l + w + w.

420 ft + 420 ft + 75 ft + 75 ft = 990 ft

The total distance that needs to be fenced in feet is;

990 ft.
