Question 1201440
<pre>
A dog trainer has 68 ft of fencing that will be used to create a rectangular work area for dogs. If the trainer wants to enclose an area of 240 ft2, what will be the dimensions of the work area?

{{{matrix(1,8, Sum, of, "dimensions:", Perimeter/2, "=", 68/2, "=", 34)}}}

With area of work area being 240 ft<sup>2</sup>, we need 2 values that SUM to 34 and have a product of 240.

These values are CLEARLY <font color = red><font size = 4><b>24 and 10</font></font></b>, and are the dimensions!</pre>
