Question

You are designing a rectangular enclosure with 2 rectangular sections separated by parallel walls. The interior wall has a length of 60 feet and the area of the enclosure is 1700 ft2. What amount of fencing is required for this project?

Answer 1

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
