Answer:
area = lengh x width is that enough of the formula? :D
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll give you the rest, just in case :P My brain got tired at the break before spring, here is the rest
400 = (L+30) X w
400 = 10+30 x 10 ( just b/c I can see 40 x 10 would be 400, calculus could also figure this out for us, but... that would be the minimum fencing he needs to buy and this questions isn't asking that, just make it fit on the back of his house, which we are not given, so just make up something, I used 10 b/c it was convenient )
400 = 40 x 10
2 sides are 40 , and one side is 10
so 90' of fence is needed
