mr.lopez is putting a face around his vegetable garden. the garden is shaped like a rectangle.the longer side are 14 feet long, and the shorter side are 9 feet long how much fencing should mr.lopez buy
P = 2L + 2W
P = (2 * 14) + (2 * 9)
P = 28 + 18
P = ?
Eggs
Fun
Snakes
To find out how much fencing Mr. Lopez should buy, we need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangle, which is the distance around the garden.
The rectangle has two longer sides that are each 14 feet long and two shorter sides that are each 9 feet long.
To calculate the perimeter, we can use the formula:
Perimeter = 2(longer side length + shorter side length)
For Mr. Lopez's garden, the perimeter can be calculated as follows:
Perimeter = 2(14 + 9) = 2(23) = 46 feet
Therefore, Mr. Lopez should buy 46 feet of fencing.
