Question

Cody's fence must have sides that are twice as long as the sides of his neigbore fence. His neigbors fence contains an area of 887.5 ft the length of the fence is

Answer 1

Answer: 59.58 ft

Explanation:

Given

The area of the neighbor's fence is
`A=887.5\ ft^2`

Suppose the length of the fence is L and the shape of the fenced area is square

So, we can write

`\Rightarrow L^2=887.5\\\Rightarrow L=√(887.5)=29.79\ ft`

According to the question, Cody's fence length must be twice of neighbor's

The length of Cody's fence is
`=2L=2* 29.79=59.58\ ft`
