Question

Becky wants to fence in a rectangular play area for her dog. If she wants the length of the play area to be 9 feet longer than half its width, what should the dimensions of the play area be? Write the dimensions algebraically​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length= (0.5x+9) ft

Width= (x) ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be represented by x and since the length is 9 feet longer than half its width it means half the width is 0.5x plus 9 feet. Therefore, the dimensions are as follows

Length= (0.5x+9) ft

Width= (x) ft
