Question

Bryce has 220 feet of fencing that will enclosure a rectangular corral. One side of the corral will be 48 feet long. What will be the area of the corral?

Answer 1

10560 square feet

Explanation:

If 2 sides are 48 feet, then we are left with

`220-2*48=124` feet for the remaining side pieces.

`(124)/(2) =62` feet.

So our dimensions must be 48 x 62.

This gives us an area of

`220*48=10560ft^(2)`
