A rectangular pit 17m long and 15m wide must be enclosed with a construction fence 3m

A rectangular pit 17m long and 15m wide must be enclosed with a construction fence 3m away from the pit. Find the length of the fence.

1. The fence should be at a distance of 3 m from each side, then we get a rectangle with sides:

17 + 3 + 3 = 23 m;

15 + 3 + 3 = 21 m.

2. To find the length of the fence, you need to find the perimeter of the rectangle, which turned out:

23 + 23 + 21 + 21 = 46 + 42 = 88 m.

Answer: the length of the fence is 88 m.
