What is the perimeter of a garden that is 75/4 yards wide and 27/2 yards long?
Rectangle:
75/4 = 18.75 wide
27/2 = 13.5 long
By formula:
P = 2(18.75 + 13.5)
= 64.5 yards
P = 2*W + 2*L = 2(75/4) + 2(27/2) = 64.5 Yds.
To find the perimeter of the garden, you need to add up the lengths of all four sides.
First, let's calculate the length of the garden:
The garden is 27/2 yards long.
Next, let's calculate the width of the garden:
The garden is 75/4 yards wide.
Now, we can calculate the perimeter by adding up all four sides:
Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
Perimeter = 2 * (27/2 + 75/4)
To simplify the calculation, let's convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions:
Perimeter = 2 * (27/2 + 75/4)
= 2 * (54/4 + 75/4)
= 2 * (129/4)
Now, we can add up the fractions using a common denominator of 4:
Perimeter = 2 * (129/4)
= 2 * 129/4
= 258/4
Finally, let's simplify the fraction:
Perimeter = 258/4
= 129/2
Therefore, the perimeter of the garden that is 75/4 yards wide and 27/2 yards long is 129/2 yards.
