Question

Raymond is building a fence for a dog run. the dog run will be a rectangle with a length of 24 feet and a width that is 2/5 the length. How many total feet of fencing will Raymond need to put around the dog run?

Answer 1

The perimeter of the dog run will use 67.2 feet of fencing.

Explanation:

First find how long the width is.

24 * 2/5 = 9.6

The width of the fence is 9.6 feet.

To find the total perimeter, add double the length and width.

24 * 2 = 48

9.6 * 2 = 19.2

48 + 19.2 = 67.2
