Given:

Carrie has 180 ft of the fencing and wishes the fence to be 4times as long as it is wide.

To Find:

The area in square feet that the fencing encloses.

Answer:

The fence encloses 3600 sq ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the length of the dog run and y denote the width of the dog run.

Given that the garage wall serves as one side of the dog run, we are left with 3 other sides to instal the fence.

Carrie has 180ft of fencing with her, so the sum of the lengths of the 3 sides has to be equal to 180. We can represent this in the form of an equation as

x+y+y=180\\\\x+2y=180\\\\x=180-2y

We are also given that Carrie wishes the fence to be 4 times as long as it is wide.

So,

x=4y

Replacing this value into the first equation, we have

4y=180-2y\\\\
6y=180\\\\
y=30

Therefore,

x=(4)(30)=120

Thus, the length of the dog run is 120ft and the width is 30ft.

The area enclosed will be equal to the length multiplied with the width. So,

(120)(30)=3600

The fence encloses 3600 sq ft.
