Answer:
76 feet (Just put 76 in the answer box)
Step-by-step explanation:
Knowing the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l + 2w, multiply 2 by 3.5. Then multiply 2 by 4.5, and add them together.
2(3.5) + 2(4.5)
The two products would be 7 and 9 respectively.
7 + 9 = 16 feet of fencing for 1 rabbit pen.
We have 2 pens, so multiply 16 by 2.
The rabbit pens need 32 feet of fencing.
(Alternatively you could have done 2(2(3.5 + 4.5)).
2(2(8))
2(16)
32 ft of fencing (rabbit pens))
Now, add 12 and 10. Then multiply that by 2.
2(12 + 10)
2(22)
The garden needs 44 feet of fencing.
Now add 32 and 44 to get the total amount of fencing needed.
32 + 44
The rabbit pens and the garden need 76 feet of fencing. (Just put 76 in the answer box as the unit (feet) is already given.)
