Answer:
The fence is 5feet less.
Explanation:
We need to determine
The less amount of fence required, if the enclosure has full width and reduced length, compared to full length and reduced width.
Approach & WorkingArea of lawn = 30 × 403/4th of the area of lawn = ¾(30 × 40) = 30 * 30
When full width will be fenced, and reduced length will be fenced.
Width = 30 feet30 * L = 30 * 30Hence, length = 30 feetLength of fence needed = 2(30 + 30) = 120 feet
When full length will be fenced, and reduced width will be fenced
Length = 40 feet40 * W = 30 * 30W = 22.5 feetLength of fence needed = 2(40 + 22.5) = 125 feet
Difference in length of fence needed = 125 – 120 = 5 feet.
