The perimeter of a rectangle measuring 20 yards by 15 yards is 2*20 + 2*15 = 40 + 30 = 70 yards.
You should buy 70 yards.
24+24+20+20=88 yards of fencing
240 yards
From what i understand, there are 2 yards to enclose with fencing, both of which are rectangular in shape. Am i correct?The rule for calculating the perimeter (that is what they are asking you to calculate) for a rectangle islength + length + width + widthThen, the amount of fencing required to fence the front yard will be65 + 65 + 45 + 45 = 220 feetFor the back yard, the amount of fencing that is required will be35 + 35 + 45 + 45 = 160 feet

84 yards ie 252 feet
389 feet of fencing is equal to 129 2/3 yards. 129 2/3 times 15 = $1945
Oliver needs 40 yards, because 24 + 24 +36 + 36 = 120 feet (perimeter of garden). Since there are 3 feet in a yard you would then divide 120 by 3 to get 40 yards! :)
If you are calculating a rectangular yard with two sides each of 20 yards and two shorter sides each of 15 yards the total length of fence required would be 20 yards + 20 yards + 15 yards + 15 yards which = 70 yards of fence.
Because yards are units of length, the question contains its own answer: 85 yards.
The question suffers from a few problems:Problem #1:The closer we read the question, the less sense it makes. What is 0.25 miles apart ?The pieces of the field ? The fence-posts ? Nothing we can think of seems like a reasonableassumption. So you know what ? We're just going to ignore that part of the question,and talk about the length of fencing you'll need.Problem #2:The area doesn't tell you the perimeter. Your 25 acres could have an infinitenumber of different shapes and sizes, and every one of them would take adifferent amount of fencing to enclose it.If you want to use the absolute minimum amount of fence, then you want the25 acres in the shape of a circular field, 392.5 yards in diameter. Then thecircumference of the circle is 3,700 ft. = 1,233.1yards. (rounded)If you definitely want straight sides around the plot, then you want it in theshape of a square with sides of 347.9 yards. The perimeter of the square is4174.2 ft = 1,391.4 yards. (rounded)That's the minimum. If it's a rectangle and not square, then the longer andskinnier it is, the more fence it needs ... while keeping the same constant areaof 25 acres. For example:-- If it's 242 yds by 500 yds, it's 25 acres, and you need 1,484 yards of fence to enclose it.-- If it's 121 by 1,000 yds, it's still 25 acres, but you need 2,242 yards of fence to enclose it.-- If it's 44 by 2,750 yds, it's still 25 acres, but you need 5,588 yards to enclose it.

Impossible; grams are measures of weight and yards are measures of length.
