A rectangular lot measures 125 feet by 185 feet and is completely fenced. What is the length, in feet, of the fence?

620, because 125+125+185+185=620, and that would be the perimeter of the rectangle.

The question involves calculating the perimeter of a rectangle.
To find the length of the fence surrounding a rectangular lot that measures 125 feet by 185 feet, we need to add the lengths of all four sides of the rectangle.
The perimeter P of a rectangle is given by P = 2(length) + 2(width), so in this case, it would be P = 2(125 feet) + 2(185 feet).
Performing the calculation, we have:

P = 2(125) + 2(185)
P = 250 + 370
P = 620 feet

Therefore, the total length of the fence is 620 feet.

The total length of the fence enclosing the rectangular lot is 620 feet, calculated using the perimeter formula for a rectangle. By adding the length and width and multiplying by 2, we arrive at this total. Thus, the formula gives us a clear and simple way to find the required fence length.
