Question3) A gardner is building a fence for her garden bed. The length of each side will be feet. Write a polynomial expression that represents the total number of fencing, in feet, she would need.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking? How much fencing does a gardener need if her square garden has sides of length feet? Watch out! Don't forget that a square has **four** sides!
STEP 2
1. Find the length of one side.
2. Multiply by four to find the total fencing needed.
STEP 3
We are told that each side of the garden is feet long.
So, the length of **one side** is feet.
STEP 4
A square has **four** equal sides.
Since we know the length of one side, we can find the **total fencing** needed by multiplying the length of one side by **four**:
STEP 5
**Distribute** the to both terms inside the parentheses:
STEP 6
**Multiply** the numbers:
STEP 7
The gardener needs feet of fencing.
