The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the second choice or letter B "20".
The current area is 120(80)=9600 and he want to expand it by 4400 so that the new area will be 9600+4400=14000
14000=(120+x)(80+x)
14000=9600+200x+x^2
x^2+200x-4400=0
x^2-20x+220x-4400=0
x(x-20)+220(x-20)=0
(x+220)(x-20)=0, since x is an increase it must be greater than zero so
x=20ft
(120+20)(80+20)=14000ft^2

$4.5 since 1.26/7 is .14 and need 25 so it’s 4.5
The perimeter of a square is the sum of its sides and they
are all equal, so to obtain the length of each of them we divide the perimeter
of the first fence between 4:
P1= 64 feet/4 sides
P1= 16 feet
Then, the length of each side of the second fence will
increase 2 feet at each end, as shown in the figure. We have then that the
perimeter of the second fence is:
P2 = 20 feet x 4 sides
P2 = 80 feet
The sum of the perimeters of both fences is:
PT = P1 + P2
PT = 64 feet + 80 feet
PT = 144 feet
Total cost = 1.17 $ x 144 feet
Total cost = 168.48 $
The total cost of the fences was $ 168.48
If I did the math correctly I’d should be -5 or rewritten as -5/1.
