Carrie wished to build a rectangular dog run along theside of her garage. the garage will serve as one side of the fence. if she has 180 ft of the fencing and wishes the fence to be 4times as long as it is wide, how many square ft will the fencing enclose? urgent a180 b1800 c3600

Given:

Carrie has 180 ft of the fencing and wishes the fence to be 4times as long as it is wide.

To Find:

The area in square feet that the fencing encloses.

The fence encloses 3600 sq ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the length of the dog run and y denote the width of the dog run.

Given that the garage wall serves as one side of the dog run, we are left with 3 other sides to instal the fence.

Carrie has 180ft of fencing with her, so the sum of the lengths of the 3 sides has to be equal to 180. We can represent this in the form of an equation as

We are also given that Carrie wishes the fence to be 4 times as long as it is wide.

So,

Replacing this value into the first equation, we have

Therefore,

Thus, the length of the dog run is 120ft and the width is 30ft.

The area enclosed will be equal to the length multiplied with the width. So,

The fence encloses 3600 sq ft.

step-by-step explanation:

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
