Question

vijay is building a new rectangular enclosure in his backyard for his chickens. he has 404040 feet of fencing material and he wants the width of the enclosure to be 888 feet. if lll is the length of the enclosure, and vijay uses all of the fencing material, which equation best models the situatio

Answer 1

The equation that best models the situation is; 2(8 + L) = 40.

How to find the perimeter of a rectangle?

We are told that;

Vijay is building a new rectangular enclosure.

Amount of fencing material Vijay has = 40 ft

The width of the enclosure = 8 feet.

Now, we are told that l is the length of the enclosure, and Vijay uses all of the fencing material.

This means that there are two width and two length sides.

Therefore, if you want the fencing to equal 40 feet around the perimeter, (8 · 2 + L · 2) = 40.

Factoring 2 out gives us;

2(8 + L) = 40.
