Max has a rectangular plot that is 60 square meters in area. He keeps his five goats,
his twelve chickens and his brown and white horse in the plot which is enclosed
on all four sides by a white picket fence. The length of the plot is 10 meters.
So the total length of the white picket fence is what in
meters?

Step-by-step explanation:

you know the area of a rectangle is length × width.

we know length = 10 m.

and we know the area = 60 m².

60 = 10×width

width = 60/10 = 6 m.

the fence is the perimeter, which is for a rectangle

2×length + 2×width

which is logical, as when you fully go around a rectangle, you have to pass the length 2 times and the width 2 times, right ?

length of fence = 2×10 + 2×6 = 20 + 12 = 32 m.

Answer:

32 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

If the plot is 60 square meters in area and 10 meters long then we can divide the area (60 square meters )by the length (10 meters) to get the missing side of 6 meters. Since the plot is rectangular there are 2 sides that are 10 meters and 2 sides that are 6 meters. Add up all the sides 2(10+6) [or just 10+10+6+6] to get a final length of 6 meters of white picket fence.
