The lot is rectangular.  Adding up the sides will give the perimeter of the lot, or length of the fence
​used.

width = 125 
length = 185

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(width) + 2(length)
= 2(125) + 2(185)   {substituted width and length into perimeter formula}
= 250 + 370   {multiplied}
=  620   {added}

The length of the fence is 620 feet.

C.)  620
