Question

Zane needs 20 yards of fencing to go around his rectangular yard. What are possible dimensions for Zane's yard? Select all that apply .

Answer 1

Answer:

1 yard by 9 yards

2 yards by 8 yards

3 yards by 7 yards

4 yards by 6 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

the perimeter of the rectangular yard needs to be 20 yards

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x ( length + width)

20 = 2 x ( length + width)

( length + width) = 20 /2

( length + width) = 10

The sum of the length and width should equal 10

Possible dimensions that would equal 10 are :

1 yard by 9 yards

2 yards by 8 yards

3 yards by 7 yards

4 yards by 6 yards
