9.4 meters of wood will be needed to go around the perimeter of the sandbox

Solution:

Given that,

A sandbox measures 2.8 meters by 1.9 meters

We have to find the perimeter of sand box

Sand box is usually of rectangular shape

The perimeter of rectangle is given as:

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

From given,

Length = 2.8 meters

Width = 1.9 meters

Therefore,

Perimeter = 2(2.8 + 1.9)

Perimeter = 2(4.7)

Perimeter = 9.4

Thus 9.4 meters of wood will be needed to go around the perimeter of the sandbox
