Algebra.Com's Answer #33707 by checkley71(8403)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! THE SQUARE AREA WILL NEED 4X FENCING AND THE FENCE DIVIDING THE AREA INTO 4 SQUARE AREAS WILL NEED 2X FENCING THEREFORE THE TOTAL FENSING WILL BE 6X FENCING THEN 6X=480 OR X=80FT. SO THE TOTAL AREA IS 80^2 OR 6400 SQFT. \n" ); document.write( " |
