The perimeter of one rectangular section is 164 m, and the other is 38 m larger. Find the perimeter of the second section. What is the length of the fence for these two sections if they are separated by a 20 m long fence?

To solve the problem, you first need to determine the perimeter of the second section.

To do this, add 38 meters to the perimeter of the first.

164 + 38 = 202 meters.

Since we know that they are separated by a fence 20 meters long, this value is one of the sides of each site.

In this case, the length of the first section will be:

(164/2) – 20 = 62 meters.

The length of the second section will be:

(202/2) – 20 = 81 meters.

Find the total length.

We get:

62 + 81 = 143 meters.

In this case, the length of the fence for the common area will be:

2 * (20 + 143) = 2 * 163 = 36 meters.
