Question
A pool fence is to be placed around a rectangular pool that is 6 m by 8 m.Question 1Workboarda. If the fence is to be 1 m away from the edge of the pool and also rectangular in shape, what length of fencing is required? (Include the width of the gate in the length of the fence.)Perimeter = m
Solution
To calculate the length of fencing required, we first need to determine the dimensions of the area the fence will encompass.
Since the fence is to be 1m away from the edge of the pool on all sides, we need to add 2m to both the length and the width of the pool (1m for each side).
So, the length of the area the fence will encompass is 8m (the length of the pool) + 2m = 10m.
Similarly, the width of the area the fence will encompass is 6m (the width of the pool) + 2m = 8m.
The fence will be around the perimeter of this area. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2*(length + width).
So, the length of fencing required is 2*(10m + 8m) = 36m.
Therefore, 36 meters of fencing is required.
