A park has a rectangular playground area that has a length of 66 feet and a with of 42 feet.The park department has 75 yards of fencing material.Is there enough fencing material to enclose the playground area
2(66+42) = 216 which is less than 75*3=226
I have this queston right now imm in aa zoom for school
for math
To determine whether there is enough fencing material to enclose the playground area, we need to find the perimeter of the rectangular playground and compare it to the available amount of fencing material.
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula: P = 2 * (length + width)
Let's calculate the perimeter of the rectangular playground:
P = 2 * (66 ft + 42 ft)
P = 2 * 108 ft
P = 216 ft
Now, we need to convert the available amount of fencing material from yards to feet because the perimeter was calculated in feet.
Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, we have:
75 yards * 3 ft/yard = 225 ft
Comparing the perimeter of the playground (216 ft) with the available amount of fencing material (225 ft), we can see that there is enough fencing material to enclose the playground area.
