Question

Shown below is a blueprint for a rectangular kennel at a pet hotel.What is the total length of fencing needed to enclose the kennel?The total length needed is ________ feet.The solution is ___________

Answer 1

According to the blueprint, the total length of fencing needed to enclose the kennel is the perimeter of the rectangle. Therefore,

width = w = 13 feet

length = l = 24 feet

$\begin{gathered} \text{total length=2l+2w} \\ \text{total length=2(24)+2(13)} \\ \text{total length=48+26 = 74 fe}et \end{gathered}$

total length = 74 feet
