  1. Since the 4 rows of wires are needed.
    Therefore the total length of wires is equal to 4 times the perimeter of rectangle.
    Perimeter of field = 2 x (length + breadth)
    = 2 x (0.7 + 0.5)
    = 2 x 1.2
    = 2.4 km
    = 2.4 x 1000 m
    = 2400 m
    Thus, the length of wire = 4 x 2400 = 9600 m = 9.6 km
