Question

Jose wants to put a fence around his rectangular garden. His garden measures 31 feet by 33 feet. The garden has a path around it that is 3 feet wide. How much fencing material does Jose need to enclose the garden and path?

Answer 1

3 feet width is added to both sides .
so the dimensions become 34 feet and 36feet
hence the fencing length required or the perimeter= 2(l+b)
= 2( 34+36)
= 2(70)
= 140feet fence
