Question

Fred the farmer had a piece of land shown in which he planted vegetables.

i) calculate the length of wire needed to fence the garden if he plans to put two layers of wire around the garden.

ii) what is the area of the vegetable garden?​

Answer 1

i) 154m

ii) 495m^2

Explanation:

2 layers around the garden = 2*perimeter = 2(10+20+12+35) = 2(77) = 154

shape is a trapezium, area = h(a+b)/2 = 18(20+35)/2 = 495
