A garden is going to be built in the city park. the garden height is 5m. and the width is 7.5 m.
a. A short fence will be built around the perimeter of the garden region. Find the number of meters of fencing required. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a meter. Show all your work.
b. Find the total area of the garden region. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a square meter. Show all your work.
the height is 5 meters?
do you mean the length is maybe 50 meters?
anyway
perimeter = 2*L + 2*W
area = L * W
a. To find the number of meters of fencing required, we need to calculate the perimeter of the garden.
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula:
Perimeter = 2 × (length + width)
In this case, the length of the garden is 7.5 meters and the width is 5 meters. So the perimeter is:
Perimeter = 2 × (7.5 + 5)
Perimeter = 2 × (12.5)
Perimeter = 25 meters
Therefore, the number of meters of fencing required is 25 meters.
b. To find the total area of the garden region, we need to calculate the area of the rectangle.
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:
Area = length × width
In this case, the length of the garden is 7.5 meters and the width is 5 meters. So the area is:
Area = 7.5 × 5
Area = 37.5 square meters
Therefore, the total area of the garden region is 37.5 square meters.
