jamila keeps alpacas on a 2-acre, square lot near her home.
She has 6 alpacas and wants to build a fence diagonally to split the herd in two. if an acre is 209 feet long, how many feet, to the nearest foot, of fencing does jamila need? 296,362,247,or 148
Since Jamila has a 2-acre lot, the total area is 2 * 209 = <<2*209=418>>418 feet.
The lot is square, so each side of the square is sqrt(418) = <<sqrt(418)=20.45>>20.45 feet.
If Jamila wants to build a fence diagonally to split the herd in two, she needs fencing for two sides of the square.
Therefore, she needs 2 * 20.45 = <<2*20.45=40.9>>40.9 feet of fencing to the nearest foot.
Rounded to the nearest foot, Jamila needs 41 feet of fencing.
