Question

The park wanted to put up a new 500 foot fence around the rectangular playground. The length of the fence is going to be 100 foot. what will be the with of the fence?

​

Answer 1

150 feet

Explanation:

A rectangle has 2 pairs of equal sides.

One of the sides is 100 feet, meaning another side is 100 feet.

If we subtract 200 feet we are left with 300, which are the last two sides.

Divide 300 by 2 to get each side length.

150 feet
