The amount of fencing needed would be equal to the perimeter of the rectangle.
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is:
Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
Therefore, the perimeter of this rectangle would be:
Perimeter = 2 * (105.55 + 75.23)
Perimeter = 2 * (180.78)
Perimeter ≈ 361.56 meters
Therefore, Toby's principal would need approximately 361.56 meters of fencing.
To calculate the amount of fencing needed, we need to find the perimeter of the rectangle. The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is 2 * (length + width).
Step 1: Add the length and width of the rectangle.
75.23 + 105.55 = 180.78
Step 2: Multiply the sum by 2 to find the perimeter.
180.78 * 2 = 361.56
Therefore, Toby's principal needs 361.56 meters of fencing.
To find the amount of fencing Toby's principal needs to put around the playground, we need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangle. The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula:
Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
In this case, the length of the playground is 105.55 meters and the width is 75.23 meters. Plugging in these values into the formula, we get:
Perimeter = 2 * (105.55 + 75.23)
Perimeter = 2 * (180.78)
Perimeter = 361.56 meters
Therefore, Toby's principal needs 361.56 meters of fencing to enclose the playground.
