Answer:
We are given a rectangular lot with dimensions 72.2 feet long and 50 feet wide.
1. To find the size of the park, we need to find the AREA of the rectangular lot.
Area of a rectangle = Length × Width
i.e. Area of a lot = 72.2 × 50
i.e. Area of a lot = 3610 feet²
Thus, the size of the park is 3610 feet².
2. To find the amount of fencing needed, we need to find the PERIMETER of the rectangular lot.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 × ( Length + Width )
i.e. Perimeter of the lot = 2 × ( 72.2 + 50 )
i.e. Perimeter of the lot = 2 × 122.2
i.e. Perimeter of the lot = 244.4 feet.
Thus, the amount of fencing needed for the park of the park is 244.4 feet.
