George will need to do 76 ft. of fencing , Option C is the correct answer.
A rectangle is a polygon with four sides , angles and vertices , the opposite sides are parallel and equal.
Area of the dog run = 240 sq.ft
Length of the run is 30 ft
Width is 30-x ft.
Area of a Rectangle = Length * Width
240 = 30 * (30-x)
8 = 30 -x
x = 22 ft.
Width is (30-220 = 8)
The perimeter of the rectangle is = 2(Length + Width )
Perimeter = 2( 30 +8)
Perimeter = 2 * 38 = 76 feet
Therefore George will need to do 76 ft. of fencing.
