Question

how many feet of fencing material should be purchased for a rectangular garden that is 20 ft long and in 16 ft wide express the answer in meters???

Answer 1

Perimeter = 2(L+W) = 2(20+16) = 2(36) = 72 feet =72x12 = 864 inches

there are exactly 2.54 cm = 1 inch

864 x 2.54 = 2194.56 cm

divide by 100 to convert to meters

2194.56/100 = 21.9456 meters

about 22 meters

72 ft = 72/3 = 24 yards

a meter is a little larger than a yard
