David must install fencing around a lot that is shaped like a right triangle. The side of the lot that runs east-west is 200 ft long. The side of the lot that runs north-south is 125 ft long. Calculate how many feet of fencing he will need to surround the entire lot. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest whole.

1. Observe problem

I think 200ft and 125 ft are both sides, so:

sqrt(200^2+125^2) is 25sqrt{89}

which is

235.84952
