Serena has a square-shaped garden. She wants to put a fence around the outside of the garden. One side of the garden is 8 feet long. How many feet of fence will she need?
P = 4s
P = 4 * 8
32
If one side of the garden is 8 feet long, then all sides of the square-shaped garden will also be 8 feet long.
To calculate the total length of the fence needed, we need to add up the lengths of all four sides of the garden.
Since all sides of the garden are 8 feet long, we multiply 8 by 4:
8 x 4 = 32
Therefore, Serena will need 32 feet of fence.
To find out how many feet of fence Serena will need, we need to calculate the perimeter of the square-shaped garden.
Since all sides of a square are equal in length, we know that one side is 8 feet long.
The formula to find the perimeter of a square is P = 4s, where P represents the perimeter and s represents the length of one side.
Plugging in the value for s (8 feet) into the formula, we get P = 4 × 8 = 32 feet.
Therefore, Serena will need 32 feet of fence to put around the outside of the square-shaped garden.
