Answer: The length of the fence will be 150 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking you to find the hypotenuse of a rectangle with a length of 120 feet and a width of 90 feet. To find the hypotenuse we will need to use the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2
120 feet will be a
90 feet will be for b
this is because a and b are the two legs of the rectangle.
120^2 + 90^2 = c^2
14400 + 8100 = c^2
22500 = c^2
c =√22500
c= 150
