A rectangular garden is surrounded by a roll of chicken wire fencing to keep out the rabbits. The dimensions of the garden are 2.6 m by 5.1 m.

The area enclosed by the fence is ______ square metres.

The length of the fence is ____ m.

The following year the same roll of fencing is used to make a square garden. What is the new garden area?______ square metres.

1.

Area = length times width

2.
5.1

3.
Amount of fencing = 5.2 + 10.2 = 15.4 m
15.4 / 4 = 3.85
3.85 * 3.85 = 14.8225 square meters

To find the area enclosed by the fence, you need to multiply the length and width of the garden. Given that the dimensions of the garden are 2.6 m by 5.1 m, you can calculate the area using the formula:

Area = Length × Width

Area = 2.6 m × 5.1 m

Area = 13.26 square meters

Therefore, the area enclosed by the fence is 13.26 square meters.

To find the length of the fence, you need to calculate the perimeter of the garden. The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula:

Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width)

Plugging in the values, you get:

Perimeter = 2 × (2.6 m + 5.1 m)

Perimeter = 2 × 7.7 m

Perimeter = 15.4 m

Therefore, the length of the fence is 15.4 meters.

Now, let's move on to the new square garden. Since the same roll of fencing is used, the length of the fence will still be 15.4 meters. To find the new garden area, we need to know the side length of the square.

In a square, all four sides are equal in length. So, to determine the side length, you can take the length of the fence and divide it by 4 (since there are four sides).

Side length = Length of the fence / 4

Side length = 15.4 m / 4

Side length = 3.85 meters

To find the new garden area, we need to calculate the area of the square using the side length:

Area = Side length × Side length

Area = 3.85 m × 3.85 m

Area = 14.8225 square meters

Therefore, the new garden area is approximately 14.8225 square meters.
