Answer:
D 62.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles ABE and and DCE are similar
we know this by AAA theorem
A=D and B=C by alternate interior angles theorem
e and e are congruent by vertical angles theorem since all 2 angles match corresponding angles, the are similar, which means the triangle and corresponding sides are also proportional
We know that area of the square is 141 square feet. Therefore, we can figure out the dimension of square using formula for area as shown below:
We know that fencing is used along the sides of the square. Therefore, amount of fencing required will be equal to perimeter of square.
Hence, we can write:
Upon rounding to nearest foot, we get the amount of fencing required as 48 feet.
