Question

Mr. Hodges wants to build a fence around his entire rectangular garden. What is the total distance around the garden?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total distance around the garden is 96 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a rectangular garden which is 30 feet by 6 yards.

In order to solve this problem, first we have get our units right. We decide to work with feet.

1 yard = 3 feet.

Therefore,

6 yard = 18 feet.

Thus, in feet we have a rectangular garden which is 30 feet by 18 feet.

Therefore the total distance around the garden—i.e its perimeter—is:

$(30*2)feet+(18*2)feet = 96feet$
