Answer:
the length of the fence = 420 ft
The total area = 8000 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
the fence has the same length as the perimeter of the rectangle
then
the length of the fence = 2×(160+50) = 420 ft
………………………………………………………………
The total area enclosed by the fencing = the area of the rectangle
Then
The total area = 160×50 = 8000 ft²
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
the perimeter (P) of a rectangle is calculated as
P = 2(length + width)
= 2(160 + 50)
= 2 × 210
= 420 ft ← amount of fencing needed
the area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as
A = length × width = 160 × 50 = 8000 ft²
