A logical size of the perimeter is 6 by 8 feet.
Do those dimensions also fit with the 28-foot perimeter?
I just need to know how to set this problem up.
You are given 28 feet of fencing and need to enclose a patio on all four sides. The following variables are defined:
Let X represent the width (in feet) and Y represent the length (in feet)of the enclosed patio. Let P represent the perimeter (in feet) and A represent the area(in feet)of the enclosed patio.
A. If the enclosed patio is 48 square feet, use the defined variables above to determine the two equations you would need to solve for x and y.
