Answer»

I will compute for the answer to the problem but I will change the unit cm in 20 cm to m because I was thinking 20 cm is a very small side of a rectangular field. It is a very unusual field having one side as 20 cm.

Given:Area = 680 m^2; unfenced side = 20 m

Formula for perimeter of a rectangle: P = 2W + 2L; one of W was not fenced. The formula can also be written as P = 2(W + L) ; Area =LW.

LW = 680 m^2

Since W = 20 m then 20L = 680 m^2

L = 680 m^2 / 20 m

L = 34 m

So the length of the fencing material is L + L + W. It is 34 m + 34 m + 20 m = 88 m.
