Question

Vanessa built an enclosed area in the shape of a square in her backyard for her dogs. She used an outside wall of the garage for one of the sides. She had to buy 3 yards of

fencing in order to build the other sides. What is the area of the enclosure?

Answer 1

3 yards/3 walls = 1 yard per wall

Area = Length * Width

Area = 1 * 1 = 1 square yard
