Question 756015: A rectangular animal pen will be built using 200 meters of fencing. If one side of the rectangle is 60 meters, find the area of the pen. Answer by knighty2002uk(39) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! if 200m of fencing and one side is 60m then the opposite side must also = 60m
That leaves 80m for the other two sides therefore
so the other sides are 40m long.
area of a rectangle = Length x Width
