PLS HELP IF YOU CAN!THIS IS DUE IN 30 MINUTES :(

A homeowner wants to fence in a rectangular yard space along one side of her house. The total area she can fence in is 800 square feet. Create a model to determine a possible length and width of the yard. *REMEMBER*: AREA = LENGTH times WIDTH.

Answer 1

Length: 20 or 40 feet

Width: 40 or 20 feet

Explanation:

Area = 800 = length*width = x*(60-x)= 60x - x^2

- x^2 + 60x - 800 = 0

x = 20

Or x = 40

So length can be either 20 feet or 40 feet and width can be 40 (60-20) or 20 (60-40)
