Answer» rectangular peice of land withLength = 0.8 kmBreadth = 0.6 kmAnd its need to be fenced with4 rows of wires What To Find:The length of the wire needed.How To Find:To find the length of wire needed we will first find the PERIMETER of the rectangular peice and then after finding the we will MULTIPLY the perimeter with 4 ROW of wires.Solution:Using the formula,⇒ Perimeter = 2(length + breadth)Substitute the values,⇒ Perimeter = 2(0.8 + 0.6)Solve the brackets,⇒ Perimeter = 2(1.4)Multiply 2 by 1.4 ,⇒ Perimeter = 2.8 kmNow finding the length of the wire,⇒ Length of the wire = 4 × PerimeterSubstitute the value,⇒ Length of the wire = 4 × 2.8 kmMultiply 4 by 2.8 km,⇒ Length of the wire = 11.2 km∴ Therefore, the length of the wire is 11.2 km. |
