A rectangular piece of land measures 0.7 km by 0.5 km. Each side is to be fenced with 4 rows of wires. What is the length of the wire needed?
Length (l) of land = 0.7 km
Breadth (b) of land = 0.5 km
Perimeter = 2 × (l + b)
= 2 × (0.7 + 0.5) = 2 × 1.2 = 2.4 km
Length of wire required = 4 × 2.4 = 9.6 km
