Question

A rectangular piece of land measures 70 m by 50 m. Each side is to be fenced with wire. The length of the wire needed is ______.

Answer 1

It is given that the measures of rectangular piece of land = 70 m × 50 m

Perimeter = 2 (L + B)

Perimeter = 2 (70 + 50) = 2 $\times$ 120 = 240 m

Hence, the length of wire needed is 240 m.
