You are fencing a rectangular puppy kennel with 25 ft of fence. The side of the kennel against your house does not need a fence. This side is 9 ft long. Find the dimensions of the kennel.

Answer 1

9 by 8 ft

if you subtract the 9 ft for the side opposite your house you are left with 16. divide 16 by 2 for the sides sticking out from your house. the answer is 8 so the cage would be 9ft by 8ft
