371.56
361.56

362.56

Answer 1

To find out how much fencing is needed for a rectangular playground, you need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangle using the formula:

\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width})
\]

In this case:
- Width = 75.23 meters
- Length = 105.55 meters

Now, let's calculate the perimeter:

\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (105.55 + 75.23)
\]
\[
= 2 \times 180.78
\]
\[
= 361.56 \text{ meters}
\]

The amount of fencing needed is **361.56 meters**.
