To calculate the amount of wire needed to fence the rectangular field, we need to find the perimeter of the field as the perimeter is the total length of the fencing required.
Given:
Length of the field = 50 m
Width of the field = 20 m
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you can use the formula:
Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
Substitute the given values into the formula:
Perimeter = 2 * (50 + 20)
Calculate:
Perimeter = 2 * 70
Perimeter = 140 meters
Therefore, Don Carlos would need 140 meters of wire to fence the rectangular field.
