A rectangular field is to be fenced on three sides leaving a side of 20 feet uncovered. If the area of the field is 80 sq. feet, how many feet of fencing will be required?
Answer/Solution
28
Steps/Work
We have: l = 20 ft and lb = 80 sq. ft.
So, b = 4 ft.
Length of fencing = (l + 2b) = (20 + 8) ft = 28 ft.
ANSWER:A
So, b = 4 ft.
Length of fencing = (l + 2b) = (20 + 8) ft = 28 ft.
ANSWER:A
