Question

James fenced in his backyard. The perimeter of his fence is 20 feet, and the width of his yard is 2 feet wide. Use the perimeter formula to find the length of his rectangular yard in inches: P = 2L + 2W.
8 in.
18 in.
72 in.
96 in.

Answer 1

Plug in what we know
P = 20 feet, W = 2 feet
20 = 2L + 2(2)
20 = 2L + 4
16 = 2L, L = 8 feet
Convert feet to inches
1 foot = 12 inches
12 * 8 = 96 inches

Solution: 96 inches
