Question

How many meters of wire is needed to fence around this garden whose sides are 16m by 12m? ( not drawn to scale)

Answer 1

Answer: 56 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The dimension of the garden is $16\ m\times 12\ m$

So, the wire needed to fence around it is equal to the perimeter of the garden

$\Rightarrow P=2(16+12)\\\Rightarrow P=2\times 28\\\Rightarrow P=56\ m$
