Question

Marcus wanted to build a rectangular fence around his backyard. His backyard is thirty-two feet long and six yards wide. What is the perimeter of the backyard in feet?

Answer 1

The perimeter of the backyard is 100 feet.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Dimensions of backyard:

Length, l = 32 feet

Width, w = 6 yards

1 yard = 3 foot

Width of backyard =

`=6* 3 = 18\text{ foot}`

Perimeter pf backyard =

`P = 2(l+w)\\P =2(32 +18)\\P=100\text{ feet}`

Thus, the perimeter of the backyard is 100 feet.
