Question 500584: you want to build a fence that has twice the perimeter of a triangular plot of land, the land plot has dimensions 1 and 1/2 yd, 2 yd, and 3 and 1/4 yd. What is the perimeter of the fence? Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have to add 1 1/2 + 2 + 3 + 1/4.
We will put everything in terms of 1/4.
6/4 + 8/4 + 12/4 + 1/4
27/4 = 6 3/4 yards is the perimeter of the yard.
If you want the fence to be twice the perimeter of the plot, it will be 13 1/2 yards.
