if it takes 600 feet of fence to enclose a rectangular lot that is 132 feet wide, then how deep is the lot?
I am assuming that the fence is on all four sides of the rectangular lot.
The perimeter of a rectangle is found with the formula P=2L%2B2W, where P=perimeter, L=length, and W=width
P=600
W=132
L=x
600=2x%2B2%28132%29
600=2x%2B264
600-264=2x%2B264-264
336=2x
336%2F2=2x%2F2
168=x
The lot is 168 ft deep.
Happy Calculating!!!
