A contractor is building a fenced-in area at a daycare. The area will be rectangular with the length of its base equal to half t

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The length of fencing will be $300\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the dimensions of the rectangle

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=bh$

In this problem we have

$A=5,000\ ft^{2}$

$5,000=bh$ -----> equation A

$b=\frac{h}{2}$ -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

$5,000=(\frac{h}{2})h$

$10,000=h^{2}$

square root both sides

$h=100\ ft$

Find the value of b

$b=\frac{h}{2}$ -----> $b=\frac{100}{2}=50\ ft$

step 2

Find the length of fencing

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to

$P=2(b+h)$

we have

$h=100\ ft$

$b=50\ ft$

substitute

$P=2(50+100)=300\ ft$
