Total length of fencing needed to enclose rectangular area is 46 feet by 34 feet is in yards?

1 answer

To find the total length of fencing needed to enclose a rectangular area, you need to add up the lengths of all four sides.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(l + w), where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width.

For a rectangle with a length of 46 feet and a width of 34 feet, the perimeter would be:

P = 2(46 + 34) = 2(80) = 160 feet.

To convert this length to yards, divide by 3 since there are 3 feet in a yard:

160 feet / 3 = 53.33 yards.

Therefore, the total length of fencing needed to enclose a rectangular area measuring 46 feet by 34 feet is approximately 53.33 yards.
