Question

Susan has 600 feet of fencing to use in making a yard for her new puppy. The yard she has

planned has a length that is 75 feet less than twice the width. What are the dimensions of the
yard?

Answer 1

Length = 175

Width = 125

Explanation:

P=2(L+W)

600ft=2(L+W)

300=L+W

300=2W-75ft+W

375=3W

125=W

L=2W-75

L=2(125)-75

L=250-75

L=175
