What do you mean by geometry?

A subfield of mathematics called geometry examines the dimensions, placements, angles, and sizes of objects.

What is a rectangle and it's formula for area?

A plane shape, as opposed to a square, with four straight sides and four right angles, particularly one with uneven neighboring sides.

Area of rectangle is:

A= l x b

area=750 square feet.

for attaining minimum area , these area must be fitted in square,

so, [tex]l = \sqrt {750}[/tex]

=27.38 feet

since, one side is taken by barn, l should be extended 4 times, 2 on 1 side and 2 on sides each.

Total length of fence = 4 * 27.38
