Final answer:

The zoo should use the Perimeter formula to calculate the amount of fencing needed for the tortoise pen, which is 180 feet.


Explanation:

The zoo should use the formula for Perimeter to determine how much fencing is needed to construct the pen. The formula for Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length + width). In this case, the length is 50 feet and the width is 40 feet, so the perimeter would be: 2(50 + 40) = 2(90) = 180 feet of fencing required.
