Question

cindy has 34 meters of fencing.she plans to fence in a rectangular dog run that is 2 meters wide.[remember, the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle( the distance around) is p=2L+2w, where L=length and w=width. how long can the run be made?

Answer 1

For Edmentum

the current answer is... 15

use the formula for the perimeter and solve for L:

34 = 2L + 2(2)
34 = 2L + 4
30 = 2L
15 = L

Answer 2

15 meters long
34=2X + 2(2)
34= 2X + 4
30 = 2X
15 = X
