What is a situation where you would need to find the perimeter?
I want to put a fence around my garden. My garden is 20' x 50'. In order to buy the correct amount of fencing, I would need to be able to find the perimeter (distance around) my garden.
How many fence posts would you need if you put a post every 10 feet around the perimeter of a square garden that is 50 feet on each side?
20 posts.
How much is adding?
well it depends on which website you plan to put an ad on
How is water wasted at home?
Showers that go on too long.Baths that are too big and filled with too much water.Swimming pools that leak or evaporate a lot of water.Leaking pipes and dripping faucets.Using washing machines and dishwashers for just a few things.Leaving the water running when you are brushing your teeth.Using a big old cistern for your toilet instead of a dual flush. (You can put a plastic bottle full of water into your cistern to use less water.)Watering your garden in the heat of the day when the spray evaporates.Not capturing your roof water into tanks but letting it run away into drains.Not using a little bowl in the sink for small washings up.Using a hose to clean your driveway instead of a broom.Washing your car with a hose instead of a bucket.ways to improvesmaller showerslower water level in bathsput covers over poolsturn off water when brushing teethwater plant in the eveninguse water tanksuse a cup for small washing upsuse a broom to clean your drivewaywash your car with a bucket
If you have 40 feet of fencing to put around a garden what are the dimensions of the largest rectangular garden he can enclose?
What do you mean by "largest" ??? Do you want the widest rectangle ? The longest rectangle ? How about the rectangle with the most area ? The length can be anything less than 20 ft, and the width can be anything less than 20 ft. Any of those shapes will have an area greater than zero. The rectangular garden with the greatest possible area is a square, 10 ft x 10 ft. Its area is 100 square feet.
