Length of the wire fencing = perimeter = 2(90 + 50) = 280 metres Two poles will be kept 5 metres apart. Also remember that the poles will be placed along the perimeter of the rectangular plot, not in a single straight line which is very important. Hence number of poles required = 280 / 5 = 56Related questions
