Length = 20 ft
If he uses 60 ft of fencing to line his rectangular backyard, then the perimeter is 60 ft.
Perimeter formula is ((Width × 2) + (Length × 2))
10 × 2 = 20
20 × 2 = 40
40 + 20 = 60

Answer: 41.1
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of x, we need to use SOH-CAH-TOA. SOH-CAH-TOA is since, cosine, and tangent. The O, A, H stands for opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse respectively.
Looking at the figure, we see 47°. The labelled angles are adjacent and the hypotenuse. Therefore, we use CAH or cosine.
[multiply both sides by x]
[divide both sides by cos(47)]
When we plug that into a calculator, we get x=41.1.
