Question

James fenced in his backyard. The perimeter of his fence is 20 feet, and the width of his yard is 2 feet wide. Use the perimeter formula to find the length of his rectangular yard in inches: P = 2L + 2W.

Answer 1

D. 96 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2W , Where L is the length and W is the width.

20 ft = 2L + 2(2 ft)

2L = 20 ft - 4 ft = 16 ft

L = ft = 8 ft

1 ft = 12 inches

8 ft = ?

Cross-multiplying this gives; × 12 = 96 inches
