<PRE><B>Question 765810</B>
jill was building a pen for her baby turtles. She wants the pen to be 30 inches long and 45 inches wide. Which piece of wood will Jull need to purchase to build the turtle pen?
-----
Draw a picture of a rectangle.
Mark the sides:: 30 then 45 then 30 then 45.
----
Distance around is 2*45+2*30 = 90 + 60 = 150 inches
-----
150 inches = 150/12 = 12 1/2 feet
========================================
Get the 15 foot piece
