To determine the number of posts Noah used for his fenced dog run, we first need to count the posts along each side and then make sure not to double-count the corner posts since they serve as endpoints for two sides.
For the length (8 yards), there are 8 + 1 posts (since there is a post every yard plus an extra one at the end). So there are 9 posts on each of the two long sides of the rectangle.
For the width (6 yards), similarly, there are 6 + 1 posts. So there are 7 posts on each of the shorter sides.
However, we've counted the corner posts twice (once for each side they touch). There are 4 corners, so we subtract 4 from our total.
The total number of posts is the sum of the posts along the sides minus the double-counted corner posts: (2 × 9) + (2 × 7) - 4 = 18 + 14 - 4 = 28 posts.
The question asks how many posts are needed for a fenced dog run that is 8 yards long and 6 yards wide, with posts placed at every corner and every yard along the length and width.
To find this, we must calculate the number of posts along each side: on an 8-yard side, there are 9 posts (1 for each corner and 1 for each of the 7 yards in between). Similarly, on a 6-yard side, there are 7 posts (1 for each corner and 1 for each of the 5 yards in between). As there are two sides each for length and width, we have 9 posts × 2 + 7 posts × 2. But this double-counts the 4 corner posts, so we must subtract 4.
Therefore, the total number of posts is: (9 × 2) + (7 × 2) – 4 = 18 + 14 – 4 = 32 - 4 = 28 posts.
Noah used a total of 28 posts for the dog run. This includes posts placed every yard along the length and width, accounting for corners that were not double-counted. The calculation involves finding the number of posts on each side and then deducting the double-counted corner posts.

Jawaban:bilangan komposit terkecil adalah 4Penjelasan dengan langkah-langkah:karena bilangan komposit adalah bilangan yg memiliki lebih dari 2 faktor, yaitu bilang yg dapat di bagi habis oleh lebih dari dua bilangan, termasuk 1 dan bilangan itu sendiri, karena 4 adalah bilangan asli terkecil yg memiliki lebih dari dua faktor, maka 4 adalah bilangan komposit terkecil
