Question

A playground which is 250 m long and 20 m broad is to be fenced with wire. Find the length of wire required to cover the boundary of the playground.

• A. 270 m
• B. 540 m
• C. 290 m
• D. 720 m

Answer 1

The correct option is B 540 m

Since the length and breadth of the playground is given we can find the perimeter easily.

Perimeter of the playground = Perimeter of rectangle

Length + Breadth + Length + Breadth = 250 + 20 + 250 + 20 = 540 m
