Area of rectangle = 480 square yards
1 side of fence needed is 50 yards of wire
what is the amount of fencing needed to build other three sides
:
Find the other side of the area
480%2F50 = 9.6 yds
:
The dimensionof the rectangle: 50 by 9.6,
find the total of the other three sides
9.6 + 9.6 + 50 = 69.2 to fence the remaining 3 sides
