To find the length of the dog run space, we can use the given information.
Let the length of the dog run be L.
The perimeter of the rectangular space is the sum of all sides, which is equal to the total amount of fencing.
Since two sides of the rectangle are equal in length (width = 8 feet and length = L), we have:
2(8) + 2L = 40
Simplifying the equation:
16 + 2L = 40
2L = 40 - 16
2L = 24
L = 24/2
L = 12
Therefore, the length of the dog run space is 12 feet.
