Question

The area of Miguel’s rectangular garden is 450 square feet. The garden is 9 feet wide.
How many feet of fencing will Miguel need to buy to enclose the garden on all four sides?

Answer 1

Answer: 118 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

For a rectangular shape: Area = W × L

450 = 9 × L

450 ÷ 9

L = 50

Perimeter of a rectangular shape = 2L + 2W

Perimeter = (2 × 50) + (2 × 9)

= 100 + 18 = 118 feet
