Question

Eric has 54 yards of fencing to use for a flowerbed. some possible measurements are shown below. for which flower beds does eric have enough fencing? A. length = 30 yards area = 300 square yards B. length = 20 yards width = 5 yards C. width = 12 yards perimeter = 48 D. length = 26 width = 22 yards E. length = 16 yards width = 14 yards F. width = 9 yards area = 162 square yards

Answer 1

Since the given figure (54 yards) is the perimeter which can be used to fence the flower beds.

Of all the options given, E is the right one, because:

Width = 9 yards

Let Length = x yards

Area = L × B

9x = 162 x = 18

Length = 18 yards

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2(L + W)

= 2 (18 + 9) = 54 yards
