Question

Beth is putting up a fence in her yard so her dog can play outside. She purchased 80 feet of fencing. If the fenced area is a rectangle with a width of 30 feet, what is the length of the fenced area?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the Perimeter fo a rectangle

= P = 2L + 2W

Where:

L = Length

W = Width

From the question

P = 80 feet

W = 30 feet

Hence:

80 = 2L + 2(30)

80 - 2(30) = 2L

80 - 60 = 2L

20 = 2L

L = 20/2

L = 10 feet

Hence, the length of the fenced area = 10 feet
