Mr. Fix it want to fence a rectangular lot. He has 122 feet of fencing available. If the length is 25 feet more than the width,
what are the dimensions of the lot?
1 answer:
Answer:
Width = 18 feet
Length = 43 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Width = x
Length = x +25
Perimeter = 122 feet
2 * (length + width) = 122
2 * (x+25 + x) =122
2x + 25 = 122/2
2x +25 = 61
2x = 61-25
2x = 36
x = 36/2
x = 18 feet
Width = 18 feet
Length = 18 + 25 = 43 feet
