Darrin is hanging 200 feet of cristmas garland on the three sides of fencing that enclose his rectangular front yard. the length, the side along the house, is five feet less than three times the width. find the length and width of the fencing.

Answer :

L = 73.75 feet

W = 26.25 feet

Explanation:

Let the length be given as L

Let the width be given as W

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangular yard is given by, P = L+L+B+B

P = 2L + 2W   (1)

Given : Length,  L = 3W-5

             P = 200 feet

Therefore, using equation (1), we get

P = 2L + 2W

200 = 2(3W-5) + 2W

200 = 6W - 10 + 2W

200 + 10 = 6W + 2W

210 = 8W

W = 26.25 feet

If W = 26.25 then let's solve for L in P = 2L + 2W

P = 2L + 2W

200 = 2L + 2 (25.25)

200 = 2L + 52.5

2L = 147.5

L = 73.75 feet

Therefore, the length is 73.75 feet

                  the width is  26.25 feet

facts: the 14th amendment

the 14th amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection of the laws.

the 14th amendment was intended to protect the rights of former slaves after the american civil war.

the 14th amendment was approved by congress in june of 1866 and ratified by the states on july 9, 1868.

the 14th amendment establishes that all persons born in the united states are citizens and are guaranteed all the rights of citizenship.

the 14th amendment establishes that the law protects all citizens equally.

in this case the passage of the 14th amendment   that was violated was the last part in which it states that there is equal protection of the law.
