Which piece of land has a large rectangular fence with sides of 7 m and 8 m or square with a side of 8 m?

In order to find out which site has a large fence, you need to know the perimeters of the sites.

Find the perimeter of the rectangular area. Add the lengths of the two sides of the section, and multiply their sum by 2.

P1 = (7 m + 8 m) * 2 = 30 m.

Let’s calculate the perimeter of the square area. A square has all sides of the same length, so we multiply the length of one side by 4.

P2 = 8 m * 4 = 32 m.

32 m> 30 m, P2> P1.

Answer: the perimeter of the square area is larger.
