Answer:
• (a)468 ft²
,
• (b)88 ft
Explanation:
Given a rectangular fence with the dimensions below:
• Length = 26 ft
,
• Width = 18 ft
(a)The area of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:
[tex]Area=\text{Length}\times Width[/tex]
Substitute the given values:
[tex]A=26\times18=468\; ft^2[/tex]
The area of the fence is 468 ft².
(b)The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:
[tex]Perimeter=2(\text{Length+}Width)[/tex]
Substitute the given values:
[tex]P=2(26+18)=2\times44=88\; ft[/tex]
The perimeter of the fence is 88 ft.
