Question

Kelly has 236 feet of fence to use to enclose a rectangular space for her dog. She wants the width to be 23 feet. Select the correctly labeled rectangle that could be the space for Kelly's dog.

Answer 1

Length = x feet = 95 feet

Explanation:

The labeled triangles are not included in the question, therefore, I will calculate the length of the rectangular space for Kelly's dog

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

Perimeter of a rectangle = 236 feet

Width = 23 feet

Length = x feet

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

236 = 2(x + 23)

236 = 2x + 46

236 - 46 = 2x

190 = 2x

x = 190/2

x = 95 feet

Length = x feet = 95 feet
