How many meters of wire should Jermaine buy to fence his rectangular garden which is 6m long and 48m wide?
to find the perimeter you add the two measurements and multiply by 2:
2(6m+48m)=
Thanks Rose
You're welcome. Sorry about the double post, my computer is weird 0_0
To find the total length of wire that Jermaine should buy to fence his rectangular garden, we need to calculate the perimeter of the garden.
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides. In this case, we have a rectangle with sides measuring 6 meters and 48 meters.
To find the perimeter, we can use the formula:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Substituting the given values:
Perimeter = 2 * (6 + 48)
Perimeter = 2 * 54
Perimeter = 108 meters
Therefore, Jermaine should buy 108 meters of wire to fence his rectangular garden.
