Question

Steph needs to help her parents put a fence around their pool. They want the fence to be square and want each side to measure 6 meters. They already have 10 meters of fencing. How many more meters of fencing should they buy? Choose 1 answer:

Answer 1

Answer:

14 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Each side of the square fence = 6 meters

Perimeter of the square fence = 4 × length

= 4 × 6

= 24 meters

They already have 10 meters of fencing

How many more meters of fencing should they buy?

= Total meters - available meters

= 24 meters - 10 meters

= 14 meters
