Answer 1

Henry has a fenced yard in the shape of a rectangle with a perimeter that measure 226 feet.

it means perimeter is 226 feet.

then,it's width(breath) is 25feet

now, length =?

by using perimeter of rectangle

perimeter=2(l+b)

226=2(l+25)

226=2l+50

226-50=2l

176=2l

176/2=l

l=88

Therefore the length is 88feet.
