A) True
B) False
C) Maybe
D) Unknown

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we need to find the dimensions of the rectangular region by setting up an equation and solving for the values of x and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, the farmer wants to enclose a rectangular region using 600 feet of fencing. To solve this problem, we need to find the dimensions of the rectangular region.

Let the length of the rectangular region be x feet and the width be y feet.

Since the farmer wants to enclose the region, the perimeter (sum of all sides) of the rectangular region is 600 feet.

So, we have the equation: 2x + 2y = 600. Now we can solve this equation to find the values of x and y.
