A rectangular piece of land measures by . Each side is to be fenced with rows of wires. What is the length of the wire needed?
Given
Length of a piece of land
The breadth of a piece of land
Find out
We have to determine the length of the wire needed to fence the piece of land given
Solution
The length of the fence required is given by the perimeter of the rectangle
We know that
The perimeter of the rectangle (Length Breadth)
The perimeter of the plot (Length Breadth)
Each side is to be fenced with rows
Therefore, the total length of the required wire is .
