Q:

A rectangular plot measuring 90 metres by 50 metres is to be enclosed by wire fencing. If the poles of the fence are kept 5 metres apart, how many poles will be needed?

A) 56m B) 65m
C) 34m D) 36m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 56m

Explanation:

Length of the wire fencing = perimeter = 2(90 + 50) = 280 metres

Two poles will be kept 5 metres apart. Also remember that the poles will be placed along the perimeter of the rectangular plot, not in a single straight line which is very important.

 

Hence number of poles required = 280 / 5 = 56
