Question

Miles is putting a fence around his garden. The total area of the garden is 4,864 square feet. The length of the garden is 152 feet. How many feet of fencing does he need to go around the whole garden?
Help pls!!

Answer 1

Since the area of any thing is length time width, we can divide 4864 by 152 to get the width of the garden. This gives us 32. Now we need to add 152 + 152 + 32 + 32 to get our total feet of fencing necessary. This would give us 368 feet of fencing.
