Question

A customer decides to build a fence around the backyard. The yard is rectangular, and with the house an equal distance from both property lines. As a result, the fence will have five sections. The short sections, connecting to the house, are each 10 feet in length. The yard then has a depth of 65 feet with a width of 80 feet. How much fencing is needed?

Answer 1

Answer:

D). 290 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the yard = 65 feet

Width of the yard = 80feet

The Perimeter of the yard = 2(l + b)

                                           = 2 * (65 + 80)

                                            = 2 * 145

                                             = 290 feet

∵ Fencing required = 290 feet

Thus, option A is the correct answer.
