Question

A farmer had a rectangular plot measuring 500 m by 100 m. If he fences the plot 4 times with barbed wire, then enter the length of wire required in metres.

• A. 4800

Answer 1

The correct option is A 4800
Given:
Length of the plot = 500 m
Breadth of the plot = 100 m
The farmer fences the rectangular
plot four times.
$\Rightarrow \text{Length of the wire}=4\times \text{Perimeter of the rectangle}$
$=4\times 2(length+breadth)$
$=4\times 2(500+100)$
$=4\times 2\left(600\right)$
$=4\times 1200$
$=4800m$
Therefore, the length of the wire
should be 4800 m.
