Question 1073935: A dog trainer has 64 ft of fencing with which to create a rectangular work area for dogs. If the trainer wants to enclose an area of 156 ft2, what will be the dimensions of the work area?
........ ft (smaller value)
.........ft (larger value) Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2l+2w=64
l+w=32
l=32-w
w(32-w)=156
32w-w²-156=0
w²-32w+156=0
(w-26)(w-6)=0
w=26 or 6
smaller value is 6 ft
larger value is 26 ft. ☺☺☺☺
