Hassan built a fence around a square yard. It took 500 feet of lumber to build the fence. The fence is 5 feet tall. What is the area of the yard inside the fence?

Hassan built a fence around a square yard. It took 500 feet of lumber to build the fence. Therefore, measurement of each side of the square yard = 500 / 4 = 125 feet The information that fence is 5 feet tall is redundant for calculating the area of the square yard. Area of yard inside the fence is given by Side * Side = 125 * 125 = 15,625 sq feet Hope this helps..!! Thank you :)
