Question 1090416: The length of a rectangular corral is 2 ft more than 3 times the width. The corral is situated such that one of its shorter sides is adjacent to a barn and does not require fencing. If the total amount of fencing is 774 ft then find the dimensions of the corral. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! width is x
length is 3x+2
There are two lengths and only one width.
2(3x+2)+x=774
6x+4+x=774
7x=770
x=110 ft. width
length is 332 feet.
110 x 332 are dimensions
