Jose wants to fence in his garden. The shape is a rectangle. Two sides are each 12 feet long. The other two sides are each 108 inches long. He buys 40 feet of fence.
What are steps he must take to see if he bought enough fence? Select all that apply.
Did he buy enough fence?
1. Convert the length of the sides in inches to feet: 108 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 9 feet.
2. Calculate the perimeter of the rectangle: P = 2(12 feet) + 2(9 feet) = 42 feet.
3. Compare the perimeter of the rectangle to the amount of fence Jose bought: 42 feet ≤ 40 feet.
No, Jose did not buy enough fence.
