Algebra.Com's Answer #466441 by rothauserc(4718)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! She wants the pen to be 30 inches long and 45 inches wide. So we want to calculate the Perimeter (P) of the pen. \n" ); document.write( "P = 2*length + 2*width \n" ); document.write( "P = 2*30 + 2*45 \n" ); document.write( "P = 60 + 90 = 150 inches \n" ); document.write( "======================================= \n" ); document.write( "we want our answer to be in feet so we divide 150 by 12 = 12.5 feet \n" ); document.write( "so we need the 15 foot piece of wood \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
