Answer:
Put a picture of the whole thing
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
We don't need to find the exact perimeter of the fencing, just an estimate.
We will round 12 ft 3 in to 12 ft, because it is closer to 12 ft than 13 ft.
We will also round 8 ft 11 in to 9 ft because there are 12 inches in a foot, which makes 9 ft closer.
The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is:
P = 2l × 2w
The length is about 12 feet and the width is about 9 feet.
Substitute the length and width:
P = 2(12) + 2(9)
Solve:
P = 24 + 18
P = 42
Jose will need about 42 feet of fencing.
The formula is the area of the base times the height.<span>

Hello!
When finding the perimeter of a rectangle, you have to consider the properties of a rectangle. A rectangle has two pairs of equal sides where one is the width, while the other one is the length.
Now looking back at your question, it says "... a rectangle that is x units wide" ⇒ you let the width = x ; this is the same with "y units long" ⇒ length = y. Perimeter can just be : P = 24.
Therefore,
The equation would be:
x + x + y + y = P.
2x + 2y = P.
(Sub in P = 24)
∴ 2x + 2y = 24. (This should be your answer.)
:) Good luck (Message me if you have any problem)
