Answer:
110 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of fencing is four times the perimeter of one garden.
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is
P = 2l + 2w
The total perimeter for all four rectangles is
P = 4× (2l + 2w) = 8l + 8w
Data:
l = 9¼ ft
w = 4½ ft
Calculation:
P = 8l + 8w = 8×9¼ + 8×4½ = 72⁸/₄ + 32⁸/₂ =(72 + 2) + (32 + 4) = 74 + 36 = 110 ft
The total length of fencing is 110 ft.
This does not look easy to factor, so I'd suggest using the quadratic formula:
-1 plus or minus sqrt( 1-4(3)(-5) )
x = -----------------------------------------------
2*3
-1 plus or minus sqrt(61)
= ------------------------------------
6
Thus, there are 2 real, unequal, irrational roots / solutions.
-4p=3p+28
-4p+4p=3p+3p+28
-28=6p+28-28
p=-28/6
p=-4 2/3
$40=T >?=m
T= $40,$80,$120,etc.
m=1,2,3,etc
