Question

Robert wants to put lights around the edge of his deck. The deck is 43 feet long and 26 feet wide. How many yards of lights does he need? Robert needs yards of lights.

Answer 1

Answer: 46 yards

Explanation:

Robert wants to put lights around the edge of his deck. The deck is 43 feet long and 26 feet wide.

Length = 43 feet

Width = 26 feet

Perimeter= 2(length + width)

= 2(43 + 26)

= 2 × 69 feet

= 138 feet

Since 1 yard = 3 feet

138 feet = 138/3 yards

= 46 yards

Answer 2

He would need a total of 46 yards of lights.

Explanation:

If he wants to put lights around the edge of his yard he would have to find the permitted which is adding up all the measurements of the sides.

So since one side of his deck is 43 the side directly across from it is 43 and same with 26 so you would add up

43+43+26+26=138 feet

Also, there is 3 feet in one yard then you would divide 138/3 to get 46 yards
