A private parking lot in downtown Philadelphia is being built. It's 120' long by 75' wide. To put a
fence around it, the construction company will need at least 390' of fencing material. True or false?

We will see that the perimeter of the rectangle is exactly 390 ft, so the statement is true.

Is the fence enough?

For a rectangle of length L and width W, the perimeter is given by:

P = 2*(L + W).

In this case, we know that:

L = 120 ft

W = 75 ft

Replacing that on the perimeter equation we get:

P = 2*(120 ft + 75  ft) = 390 ft

So the perimeter is exactly 390 ft, meaning that to put a fence around the parking lot the company will need at least 390 ft of fence.

So the statement is correct.
