Question

The diagram shows a plan for fencing off a section of a public park to make a dog park. A wall that separates the park from a highway will form one side of the dog park. The other 3 sides, shown as dotted lines, will be fenced. How much fencing is needed to make the dog park?

Answer 1

Where’s the diagram?

Answer 2

In this case, 33 meters of fencing would be needed to make the dog park.

Explanation:

To determine how much fencing is needed to make the dog park, we need to consider the lengths of the three sides that will be fenced, excluding the side that is formed by the existing wall.

Given:

- The wall separates the park from a highway and forms one side of the dog park.

To calculate the total amount of fencing needed, follow these steps:

1. Examine the diagram to identify the lengths of the three sides that need to be fenced. These sides are shown as dotted lines.

2. Measure and record the lengths of these three sides.

3. Add up the lengths of the three sides to find the total amount of fencing needed for the dog park.

For example, if the lengths of the three sides are 10 meters, 15 meters, and 8 meters, respectively, the total amount of fencing needed would be:

10 meters + 15 meters + 8 meters = 33 meters

Therefore, 33 meters of fencing would be needed to make the dog park.
