will fan and metal i need help plz ike wants to put a rope around a rectangular plot of flowers he just planted. What would be the best measurement to find the length of the rope Mike needs? A. the height of the plot of flowers B. the perimeter of the plot of flowers C. the area of the plot of flowers D. the length of one side of the plot of flowers

OpenStudy (sasquat):

Im kinda lookin at b or c for this one since you want to tie the rope AROUND the flowers which means circumference...

OpenStudy (sasquat):

So the area or perimeter is likely...

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes its one of those

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so witch one?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

note that he needs to find a length

OpenStudy (sasquat):

Well the definition of area means you are multiplying width and length and the definition of perimeter for a rectangle goes as follows: 2w+2l where w is width and l is length so....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what?

OpenStudy (sasquat):

so if you want to find the length ur gonna wanna use the perimeter since that gives a more in depth equation rather than just the area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so c?

OpenStudy (sasquat):

yup

OpenStudy (welshfella):

B is the perimeter

OpenStudy (sasquat):

oh yeah sorry B is the answer

OpenStudy (sasquat):

thanks welshfella
