Answer:
136 ft of woods
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let us assume that we are solving for the frame of the deck alone
2. And also from the given parameters the deck has a rectangular shape
we know that the total amount of woods to be used is same as the perimeter of the rectangle.
Given that
length l= 60 ft
width w= 8 ft
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given as
Perimeter= 2l+2w
perimeter= 2*60+ 2*8
perimeter= 120+16
perimeter= 136 ft
Hence in other to construct the frame of the deck Adam needs a total of 136 ft of woods
