Question

Susan plans to use 120 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular area for a garden. Which equation best models the area, y, of the rectangular garden that she creates if one side is x feet long? A = lw y = (60 – x)(x) y = (120 – x)(120 + x) y = (120 – x)(x) y = (60 – x)(60 + x) (answer here is A or y = (60 – x)(x))

Answer 1

A on edggggggggggg

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is "
`A=(60-y)(60-x)`".

Explanation:

Well, we have set the range at 120 feet.

That implies that
`2x+2y=120`

we already know that perhaps the area of the an elevator is xy, thus in the perimeter measurement we have to solve both x and y.

`2x=120-2y\\\\x=60-y\\\\2y=120-2x\\\\y=60-x`

These numbers are now plugged in to our A=xy range equation for:

`A=(60-y)(60-x)`
