Question

Angelo has a garden in the shape of rectangle. The area of the garden is 71.34 square meters, and the length of the garden is 12.3 meters. He needs to repair the fence along one of the widths of the garden.
The width of a rectangle is found by dividing the area of the rectangle by the length of the rectangle.

How many meters of fence material does Angelo need to purchase?

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

A=LW
A/L=W

A=71.32
L=12.3

71.34/12.3=W
71.34/12.3=5.8=W


he wants to repair one width or 5.8 meters
he need to purchase 5.8 meters

Answer 2

If you take 71.34 and divide it by 12.3, you will end up with 5.8.


71.34 divided by 12.3 = 5.8


So Angelo would have to purchase 5.8 meters of fencing for the section of fence that needs to be replaced.



Hope this helps!!
