Question

Ellie wanted to build a fence around her rectangular garden. The garden is 10 ft by 20 ft. A) What is the perimeter of the garden in feet?

Answer 1

60 feet

Explanation:

Perimeter is the sum of the four sides of a rectangle

the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (length + breadth)

2 x (10 + 20)

2 x (30)

= 60 feet

Alternatively, you can add the sides together : 10 + 10 + 20 + 20 = 60 feet
