you don't have choice ? 4 ft and 6ft
Let's look at the factors of 24
2 * 12
3 * 8
4 * 6
Now plug those numbers into this formula.
P = 2L + 2W
Which of those factors fits for the perimeter?
2 * 12
3 * 8
4 * 6
Now plug those numbers into this formula.
P = 2L + 2W
Which of those factors fits for the perimeter?
Ciara -- 4 and 6 don't fit the dimensions for 28 feet perimeter.
