The length should be 80 feet.
This is because the width is 20 since there are two sides for the width in pen, we have to add 20+20. This would equal 40. Then we need to subtract 40 from 200. 200-40 would be 160. Then since there are two sides for the length, we need to split that in half. 160÷2 would be 80. To double check, you can do 80+80, and that would still be 160. So the length of one side would be 80. But of course, this whole thing would only be right if the pen has four sides(but since I have seen many chicken pens, there were all rectangular)
Answer:
x=151
--------------------------
Ricky jogged 6 miles on tuesday and 6 miles on friday
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Rick jogged the same distance on tuesday and friday
Let "x" be the distance jooged on each tuesday and friday
He also jogged for 8 miles on sunday
Total of 20 miles for the week
Therefore, we frame a equation as,
total distance jogged = miles jogged on tuesday + miles jogged on friday + miles jogged on sunday
20 = x + x + 8
20 = 2x + 8
2x = 20 - 8
2x = 12
x = 6
Thus Ricky jogged 6 miles on tuesday and 6 miles on friday
