1. The formula for calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, is:
P=2L+2W
P is the perimeter of the rectangle (P=320 feet).
L is the lenght of the rectangle.
W is the width of the rectangle.

2. The problem says that the length of the rectangle is three times the width, so you have:
</span>
L=3W
3. When you substitute L=3W and P=320, into P=2L+2W, you obtain:
P=2L+2W
320=2(3W)+2W
320=6W+2W
8W=320
W=320/8
W=40 feet
4. The barn forms one end of the rectangle. Therefore the linear feet of fence (x) is:
x=P-W
x=320 feet-40 feet
x=280 feet

How many linear feet of fence must he buy?

The answer is: 280 feet
The horse traveled 439.6 feet after walking around the track 5 times
<u><em>Solution:</em></u>
Given that, horse walks around a circular track while its trainer stands in the center
The trainer is 14 feet from the horse at all times
Therefore, radius of circular track = 14 feet
The circumference of circle is the distance traveled by horse for 1 lap
<em><u>The circumference of circle is given as:</u></em>

Where, "r" is the radius and
is a constant equal to 3.14

Thus the distance traveled by horse for one time in circular track is 87.92 feet
<em><u>About how far had the horse traveled after walking around the track 5 times? </u></em>
Multiply the circumference by 5

Thus the horse traveled 439.6 feet after walking around the track 5 times
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Earnings = 5 + 7.50x You want to earn 50.00
50 = 5 + 7.50x Set up equation
45 = 7.50x Subtract 5
45/7.50 = (7.50/7.50) x Divide by 7.5
x = 6
You need to work 6 hours.
