Full solution

Q. 22. A garden's dimensions are 3232 feet by 1818 feet. How much fencing is needed if a fence will be constructed 77 feet from the garden on all sides?
  1. Determine dimensions: Determine the dimensions of the area including the fence. The fence will be 77 feet away from the garden on all sides, so we need to add 1414 feet to each dimension of the garden (77 feet on each side). New length = 3232 feet + 1414 feet = 4646 feet New width = 1818 feet + 1414 feet = 3232 feet
  2. Calculate perimeter: Calculate the perimeter of the area including the fence.\newlinePerimeter = 2×(length+width)2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width})\newlinePerimeter = 2×(46feet+32feet)2 \times (46 \, \text{feet} + 32 \, \text{feet})\newlinePerimeter = 2×78feet2 \times 78 \, \text{feet}\newlinePerimeter = 156feet156 \, \text{feet}
  3. Check calculation: Check the calculation for any mathematical errors.\newlineRe-checking the perimeter calculation:\newlinePerimeter = 2×(length+width)2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width})\newlinePerimeter = 2×(46feet+32feet)2 \times (46 \, \text{feet} + 32 \, \text{feet})\newlinePerimeter = 2×78feet2 \times 78 \, \text{feet}\newlinePerimeter = 156feet156 \, \text{feet}\newlineNo mathematical errors are found in the calculation.
