The approximate length of fencing she needs will be 41.42 feet. Then the correct option is D.
<h3>What is Geometry?</h3>It deals with the size of geometry, region, and density of the different forms both 2D and 3D.
Janet is fencing a triangular portion of her yard, which has measurements as shown.
She postulates fencing for the two sides of the yard that do not include the house.
She also requires fencing for the third side of the yard, except for the portion taken up by the house.
Then the approximate length of fencing she needs will be
Let x be the length of fencing.
Then we have
⇒ x + 100 + 100
Then we have
x = c – 100
Then the value of c is given by the Pythagoras theorem. Then we have
c² = 100² + 100²
c² = 10000 + 10000
c² = 20000
c = 141.42 ft
Then the value of x will be
x = 141.42 – 100
x = 41.2 feet ≈ 41 feet
Then we have
⇒ 41 + 100 + 100
⇒ 241
Then the correct option is D.
