Question

Adam wants to create an outdoor rectangular kennel. The length will be three feet more than twice the width. Write and use an equation to find the length and width of the kennel if Adam has 54 feet of fencing. Write and solve an equation to solve this problem.

Answer 1

Explanation:

l = 3 + 2w

P= 2w t 2l

= 2w+2(3+2w)

=2w+6+4w

=6w+6 = 54

6w=48

w=8

divide 6 both side

l=3+2(8)=3+16=19

answer

width 8feet and length 19 feet
