Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the amount of fencing needed, we need to find the perimeter of the rectangular lot. Perimeter is calculated by adding all the sides of the rectangle. Therefore, 
perimeter = 2(length + width) 
Substituting the given values, 
perimeter = 2(107 + 81) 
perimeter = 2(188) 
perimeter = 376 ft 
Therefore, the amount of fencing needed to enclose the rectangular lot is 376 ft. Option B is the correct answer. The amount of fencing needed to enclose a rectangular lot is equal to the perimeter of the rectangle. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2l + 2w, where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width. 
In this case, l = 107 ft and w = 81 ft. 
P = 2(107) + 2(81) 
P = 214 + 162 
P = 376 ft 
Therefore, the correct answer is B)376 ft.
