Answer: No, because when you add all the lengths together you end up with 59 not 60. It would only be reasonable to say 60 if you were estimating or you ended up with a decimal like 59.9 and the question asked you to round to the nearest whole number. However, since it doesn't you cannot say it is 60 feet because the answer is 59 feet long.
