Answer
$2109$ meters
Work Step by Step
To find the distance around the entire farm, we will add the four sides (465, 573, 498, 573)
$465 + 573 + 498 + 573$
Start at the right of each number and add the ones digits
$5 + 3 + 8 + 3= 19$ ones
Regroup the $19$ ones as $1$ ten and $9$ ones
Write the $9$ ones in the ones column.
Write the $1$ ten in the tens column
Add the tens column next including the regrouped $1$
$1 + 6 + 7 + 9 + 7 = 30$ tens
Regroup the $30$ tens as $3$ hundreds and $0$ tens
Write the $0$ tens in the tens column.
Write the $3$ hundreds in the hundreds column
Add the hundreds column next including the regrouped $3$.
$3 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 5 = 21$
Regroup the $21$ hundreds as $2$ thousands and $1$ hundred
Write the $1$ hundred in the hundreds column
Write the $2$ thousands in the thousands column.
Add the thousands column next which is the regrouped $2$
$2$
The sum of the three numbers is $2109$
The distance is $2109$ meters
