Answer 4

HintL:
The chain-link fence is measured in linear feet, paving (area) is measured in square feet.

Answer 5

302 in what unit, and answer for perimeter or area?

Answer 6

302yd^2

Answer 7

Not exactly, perimeter is measured in linear measurements , like feet, yards, or metres.
So 302 yards would be correct.

Answer 8

The chain would be perimeter and the pave would be area

Answer 9

and why would that be ?

Answer 10

302 would be the perimeter

Answer 11

linear measurements are simple measurements.
For example, area of a rectangle 2 ft by 3 ft would be
Area=2 ft * 3 ft = 2*3 ft*ft = 6 ft^2.
That's how we get the unit for area.

Answer 12

302 is the perimeter

Answer 13

5658 is the area

Answer 14

Please, perimeters and areas MUST be accompanied by units.
