A farmer makes a wire fence on a square lot of which each side is 6 meters long. If there will be a posts every 2 meters, how many posts were used by the farmer? How long was the wire used in fencing the area?

4 posts on each side, but that counts the corners twice, so 12 posts

6m on each side, so 24 m

Well, that farmer sure knows how to get the point across! So let's calculate this in a funny way.

If each side of the square lot is 6 meters long, we can imagine it as a big dance floor for cows doing the square dance - moo-ving around gracefully! Moo-ving on!

Now, if there are posts every 2 meters, we can think of them as the chaperones at the cow's dance party. They make sure everything is in order and no funny business is happening.

To figure out how many posts were used, let's count how many sides there are in our square lot. A square has four sides, just like a delicious piece of cheesy pizza. Yum!

So if there are posts every 2 meters and each side is 6 meters long, we divide the side length by the spacing between posts:

6 meters / 2 meters = 3 posts per side

Since we have four sides, we just multiply that by four:

3 posts per side * 4 sides = 12 posts in total!

So, our farmer used 12 posts to make sure those cows don't stray off the dance floor.

Now, let's measure the wire used for the fence. To do that, we need to find the perimeter of the square lot, which is simply the sum of all four sides. It's like measuring the distance the cows will travel on the dance floor.

Each side is 6 meters, so:
6 meters + 6 meters + 6 meters + 6 meters = 24 meters

Therefore, the wire used for the fence is 24 meters long. That's a lot of wire! I hope those cows appreciate all the effort the farmer put into their dance party.

And there you have it, my friend! 12 posts were used, and 24 meters of wire were used to fence the area.

To find the number of posts used by the farmer, we need to calculate the perimeter of the square lot and divide it by the spacing between each post.

1. Perimeter of the square lot:
The perimeter of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by 4.
Perimeter = 6 meters × 4 = 24 meters

2. Spacing between each post:
The farmer placed posts every 2 meters along the perimeter.

3. Number of posts used:
Number of posts = Perimeter ÷ Spacing between each post
Number of posts = 24 meters ÷ 2 meters = 12 posts

Therefore, the farmer used 12 posts to make the wire fence around the square lot.

To find the length of the wire used in fencing the area, we need to calculate the perimeter of the square lot.

4. Length of the wire used:
The perimeter of the square lot is 24 meters.

Therefore, the farmer used 24 meters of wire to fence the area.

To find the number of posts used by the farmer, we need to calculate the perimeter of the square lot and then determine the number of posts needed at a distance of 2 meters apart.

First, let's calculate the perimeter of the square lot. Since all sides of the square are 6 meters long, the perimeter is found by multiplying the length of one side by 4:

Perimeter = 6m + 6m + 6m + 6m = 24 meters

Next, to find the number of posts, we divide the perimeter by the distance between each post:

Number of Posts = Perimeter / Distance between each post
= 24m / 2m
= 12 posts

The farmer used 12 posts for the fence.

To calculate the length of wire used, we need to find the perimeter of the square lot and then add the length of wire used for the vertical sides.

The perimeter of the square lot is given by 4 times the length of one side:

Perimeter = 4 * 6m = 24 meters

We add the length of wire used for the vertical sides. Since the vertical sides are equal to the length of one side multiplied by 3 (due to 2 vertical sides and 1 horizontal side), we calculate:

Length of wire used for vertical sides = 6m * 3 = 18 meters

Finally, we add the perimeter to the length of wire used for vertical sides:

Total length of wire used = Perimeter + Length of wire used for vertical sides
= 24m + 18m
= 42 meters

The farmer used 42 meters of wire in fencing the area.
