Question

You install 762 feet of fencing along the perimeter of a rectangular yard. The width of the yard is 185 feet. What is the length of the yard?

Answer 1

Length: 196 feet

• perimeter of rectangle: 2(length+width)

==================================

Solve for length:

• 2(length+width) = perimeter

• 2(length+185) = 762

• length + 185 = 381

• length = 381 - 185

• length = 196
