Question 654610: I need help to find the equation to this senareo: Nancy has 60 feet of fencing to enclose a run for her dog, Daisy. She wants the run to be as twice as long as it is wide. What dimensions should she use for the dog run? Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2L+2W=60
L=2W
2*2W+2W=60
4W+2W=60
6W=60
W=60/6
W=10 ANS. FOR THE WIDTH.
L=2*10
L=20 ANS FOR THE LENGTH.
PROOF:
2*20+2*10=60
40+20=60
60=60
