The farmer decided that he ordered enough planks for an arena that measured 115 1/4 ft by 63 1/2 ft. Is he correct? Explain. What questions do you need to answer this question? Please help

Step-by-step explanation:

The question we need to answer is what total length of plank did the farmer ordered for the arena.

to solve for the length of plank to cover the arena we need to solve for the perimeter of the arena.

given data

length L= 115 1/4 ft = 115.25ft

width W= 63 1/2 = 63.5ft

perimeter= 2L+2W

perimeter= 2(115.25)+2(63.5)

perimeter= 230.5+127

perimeter= 357.5ft

This means that the farmer ordered a total length of 357.5ft of plank

answer: x=60
