for your dog to exercise the pan should be three times as long as it is wide.
find the dimensions of the pen length and width

If W is the width, then 3W is the length, and


    W + 3W = 96/2 = 48,  or

    4W = 48,

     W = 48/4 = 12 ft.


ANSWER.  The dimensions should be 12 ft and 3*12 = 36 ft.

Solved.
