A triangular plot with sides of 25 feet, 40 feet, and 50 feet is to be surrounded by a fence built on Pillars at 5 feet apart. how many pillars will be required to surrounded the plot ?

1 answer

To find the number of pillars required to surround the triangular plot, we need to determine the perimeter of the plot first.

The perimeter of a triangle can be found by summing the lengths of its sides. Therefore, the perimeter of the triangular plot is 25 + 40 + 50 = 115 feet.

Next, we need to find the distance between each pillar. Given that the pillars are 5 feet apart, we can divide the perimeter of the plot by the distance between each pillar to find the number of pillars required.

115 feet / 5 feet = 23 pillars

Therefore, 23 pillars will be required to surround the triangular plot.
