Question

Craig has 72 feet of material to build a fence around a rectangular flower bed on his property. if the width of the fence must be 3 feet, what is the length of the fence in yards if he uses all 72 feet of material? 11 yards 33 yards 66 yards 22 yards

Answer 1

The length of the fence in feet if he uses all 72 feet of material is 33 feet.

Perimeter of a rectangle

• Width of the fence = 3 feet
• Perimeter = 72 feet
• Length = x

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

72 = 2(x + 3)

72 = 2x + 6

72 - 6 = 2x

68 = 2x

x = 68/2

x = 33 feet

Therefore, the length of the fence in feet if he uses all 72 feet of material is 33 feet.
