Pegs are driven in at the corners and sides of the rectangle at a distance of 25 cm from each other.

Pegs are driven in at the corners and sides of the rectangle at a distance of 25 cm from each other. How many pegs are hammered in if the rectangle is 12 m long and 2 m wider?

Determine the width of the rectangle.
12 – 2 = 10 m.

Let’s define the perimeter of the rectangle.
(12 + 10) * 2 = 44 m.

Determine the number of pegs driven in on the sides and corners of the rectangle. (Pegs driven in length and width coincide at the corners).
44: 0.25 – 4 = 176 – 4 = 172 pegs.

Answer: 172 pegs are driven in on the sides and corners of the rectangle.
