Question

A family needs to build fencing around their rectangular home and square swimming pool. The total amount of fencing they need can be written as

x+10. If x=5, the family needs yards of fencing for their:
a) Home (2 + 5x) yd
b) Pool (3 + 10x) yd
c) Home (3 + 10x) yd
d) Pool (2 + 5x) yd

Answer 1

The family needs 53 yards of fencing for their home. The family needs yards of fencing for their: c) Home (3 + 10x) yd

Step-by-step explanation:

The family needs yards of fencing for their: c) Home (3 + 10x) yd

To find the amount of fencing needed for the home, we substitute x = 5 into the expression 3 + 10x.

So, Home = 3 + 10(5)

= 3 + 50

= 53 yards.
