A farmer has 96 feet of fence with which to make a corral. if he
arranges it iinto a rectangle that is twice as long as it is wide,
what are the dimensions?

Respuesta :

Answer: The dimensions of rectangle are 32 feet and 16 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of rectangle be 'x'.

Let the length of rectangle be '2x'.

Perimeter of fence = 96 feet

As we know the formula for "Perimeter":

[tex]Perimeter=2(l+b)\\\\96=2(2x+x)\\\\\dfrac{96}{2}=3x\\\\48=3x\\\\x=\dfrac{48}{3}\\\\x=16\ ft[/tex]

Hence, the length of rectangle is 2x=2×16 = 32 feet and width is 16 feet.

Therefore, the dimensions of rectangle are 32 feet and 16 feet.
