Answer:

236.68 feet needed for fencing

Step-by-step explanation:

You are designing a rectangular enclosure with 2 rectangular sections separated by parallel walls

Let L be the length and W be the width

Perimeter of rectangle = 3(length )+ 4 (width)


P=3L+4W

Area of the rectangle = length * width


A=2LW


W= (A)/(2L)


W= (1700)/(2(60))=14.17

Replace the values in perimeter


P=3L+4W


P=3(60)+4(14.17)=236.68

So 236.68 feet needed for fencing
