Question

A daycare is fencing in a grassy area to make a playground for kids. One sound of the playground will be directly along the building and is 40 feet in length.What will the width of the playground be if they have 170 feet of fencing to use?

Answer 1

The answer is 85 feet of fencing.

Answer 2

Answer:

45 feet width

Step-by-step explanation:  4 fences required as given as one is already along the side of building and says 'fencing in '

40 ft lengths = 40 *2 = 80ft playground perimeter of only the lengths and then the widths is looked for so we label 40 feet length on rectangle  Then ; (( perimeter subtracted by 2 lengths) /the amount of  widths) = ((170-80) /2) = 90/2 = 45 feet =width then label width 45 feet
