A rectangular field is to be fenced on three sides leaving a side of 20 feet uncovered. If the area of the field is 680 sq. feet, how many feet of fencing will be required?

34
40
68
88

Correct Answer: 88

Explanation:

We have: l = 20 ft and lb = 680 sq. ft.

So, b = 34 ft.

∴ Length of fencing = (l + 2b) = (20 + 68) ft = 88 ft.
