Question

Select the correct location on the coordinate plane.

Jacelyn is creating a small, rectangular dog run in her backyard. She has 60 feet of fencing and needs to enclose all four sides of the area.

Create an equation that represents the area of the dog run, A, in square feet, in terms of its width, w, in feet. Use this equation to determine a point on the graph modeling this situation.
What is the point on the graph?

Answer 1

20 ft=w

Explanation:

If you have 100 ft of fencing, that is the perimeter.

Let w = the width of the dog pen

w+10 = the length of the dog pen (based on the conditions given)

Perimeter = width + width + length + length

100 = w+w+w+10+w+10

100=4w+20 subtract 20 from both sides

80=4w Divide both sides by 4

20 ft=w

im sorry if this is not right
