In a rural farm community, a farmer owns 4 rectangular shaped fields. He wants to fence off 3 of the fields so that he can graze his livestock.
The diagram below shows the farmer’s 4 rectangular shaped fields.
The perimeter of the 3 rectangular fields the farmer needs to be fenced off is:
P = 2(l + w)
where l is the length of the field, and w is the width of the field.
Calculate the total length of fencing the farmer needs to fence off the 3 fields.
Answer: The total length of fencing the farmer needs to fence off the 3 fields is (60 + 30 + 30) + (60 + 30 + 20) + (60 + 30 + 30) = 210 meters.
