Perimeter = 2L + 2W = 1,000.
2L + 2*200 = 1000,
L = 300 Ft.
A = L*W = 300 * 200 = 60,000 Ft^2. = Area of pasture.
Bags = 60,000Ft^2 * 1bag/5,000Ft^2 = 60,000/5,000 =
2L + 2*200 = 1000,
L = 300 Ft.
A = L*W = 300 * 200 = 60,000 Ft^2. = Area of pasture.
Bags = 60,000Ft^2 * 1bag/5,000Ft^2 = 60,000/5,000 =
