Question 57284: Any help with this is greatly appreciated! thanks
A farmaer uses 65ft of fencing to enclose a rectangular pen next to his barn. If he only needs to fence three sides of the and wants the length of the pen
parrallel to the barn to be 10 ft more then twice the width of the pen, what are the dimensions of the pen? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = width
2x + 10 = length
x + x + 2x + 10 = 65
4x + 10 = 65
4x = 55
x = 13.75 answer
check
2(13.75) + 2(13.75) + 10 = 65
27.5 + 27.5 + 10 = 65
55 + 10 = 65
65 = 65
OK
