Answer 2

Answer:

Kim needs 42 posts to fence the garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the Rectangular garden = 24 m

Width of the Rectangular garden = 18 m

Distance between two posts = 2 m

To find: Number of post needed to fence the  Rectangular garden.

Length of the fence requires in the Rectangular Garden= Perimeter of the rectangle

                                                = 2 × ( length + Width )

                                                = 2 × ( 24 + 18 )

                                                = 2 × 42

                                                = 84 m

Number of posts = 84/2 = 42

Therefore, Kim needs 42 posts to fence the garden.
