Question

A rectangular garden is 55 cm long and 45 m broad .a path is made outside the garden with a width of 5 m. if a fence is to be built surrounding the path, what is the length of the fence

Answer 1

Convert all to metres:

55 cm = 0.55 m

.

Find the Length and Breadth of the path:

Length = 0.55 + 5 + 5 = 10.55m

Breadth = 45 + 5 + 5 = 55 m

.

Find the perimeter:

Perimeter = 2(length + Width)

Perimeter = 2(10.55 + 55)

Perimeter = 2(65.55)

Perimeter = 131.1m

.

Answer: The length is 131.1 m
