Question

Steve has a fenced garden in the shape of a rectangle. Its area is 317.8 square feet. The width of the yard is 14 feet. What is the length of the fence?

Answer 1

22.7 feet

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle=Length X Width

If:

• Area = 317.8 square feet.
• Width = 14 feet

Substituting into the formula for area

317.8 = Length X 14

Divide both sides of the equation by 14

`(Length X 14)/(14)= (317.8)/(14)`

Length =22.7 feet

The length of the fence is 22.7 feet.
