Question

a farmer has a rectangular field that measures 125 feet by 200 feet. He wants to enclose the field with a fence. What is the total length, in feet, he will need for the job?

Answer 1

He needs to fence the entire perimeter, so all you have to do is find the perimeter. P= S+S+S+S, which is 125, 200, 125, and 200. Add them together and you get 650, so he needs 650 feet of fence.
