A farmer has a field, which is 250 m long and 180 m wide. He wants to fence it with wire. The length of the wire required for fencing the field is ________.

Length of the wire required for fencing = perimeter of the field

Given,

The length of field (l) = 250 m

The breadth of field (b) = 180 m

Perimeter of the field = 2 (l+b) = 2 × (250 m + 180 m)

= 2 × 430 m = 860 m

Therefore, the length of the wire required for fencing the field is 860 m.
