Question

Bethany is making a rectangular fenced-in area for her rabbit in her yard. The area measures 4 3 4 feet wide by 2 yards long. What is the total length of fencing, in feet, that Bethany will need? A. 6 3 4 feet B. 10 3 4 feet C. 13 1 2 feet D. 21 1 2 feet

Answer 1

D. 21 1/2 feet

Explanation:

Answer 2

The total length of fencing, in feet, that Bethany will need is 13 1/2 feet.

What is the total length of fencing needed?

The total length of fencing needed can be determined by calculating the perimeter of the area. Perimeter is the distance round the area.

Perimeter of the area = 2(length + width)

2 (4 3/4 + 2)

2 x 6 3/4

2 x 27/4 = 13 1/2 feet.
