Question

becky is building a square rabbit cage. the length and width are both 3 feet less than the square dog pen she built for her dog. the area of the rabbit cage is 25ft. how many feet of fencing is needed to enclose the 4 sides of the rabbit cage?

Answer 1

Answer:

The fencing needed is 20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rabbit cage is 25 sq ft.

Becky is building a square rabbit cage.

As the cage is square, so all its side will be same. Area of square is $(side^{2})$

The side of the cage will be =  $\sqrt{25} =5$ feet

So, the fencing (perimeter) needed is = $4\times5=20$ feet

Answer 2

It's a square pen.  The area is 25 ft.  The square root of 25 is 5.  That times 4 equals 20.  So, you need 20ft of fencing.
