Question

Ms. Adami is making a fence in the shape of a rectangle for her dog. She has 24 feet of fencing to use for the perimeter of the space. She wants to use all of the fencing. Which possible length and width for the rectangular space could she use? Choose the 3 that apply​

Answer 1

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step:

* Ms. Adami has 24 feet of fencing total

* She wants to use all 24 feet for the perimeter of the rectangle

* She needs to find length and width combinations that will make the perimeter = 24 feet

Here are the possible combinations:

1. Length = 12 ft, Width = 2 ft: perimeter = 2*12 + 2*2 = 24 ft

2. Length = 8 ft, Width = 3 ft: perimeter = 2*8 + 2*3 = 24 ft

3. Length = 6 ft, Width = 4 ft: perimeter = 2*6 + 2*4 = 24 ft

Therefore, the 3 possible length and width combinations that would give a perimeter of 24 ft using all the fencing are:

1. Length = 12 ft, Width = 2 ft

2. Length = 8 ft, Width = 3 ft

1. 3. Length = 6 ft, Width = 4 ft
