Answer 1

To solve parts 4b and 4c, let's analyze the information provided.

### Part 4b
You mentioned "a = (12)" but did not provide a specific equation or relationship for calculating side **a** from side **b**.

Assuming you are asking for a rectangle where side **b** is 12 meters, it would depend on what you want side **a** to be. If you are using a rectangular configuration where side **a** could also be equal to side **b**, then:

- If **b** = 12 meters, and if **a** is also equal, then **a** = 12 meters.

However, if there’s more context needed (like if the equation was a ratio or a particular relationship), please clarify.

### Part 4c
If we consider the donkey's pen as a rectangle with side lengths **a** and **b** (and assuming from part 4b that **a** = 12 meters and **b** = 12 meters), the perimeter \( P \) of a rectangle can be calculated using the formula:

\[
P = 2(a + b)
\]

Substituting the values:
\[
P = 2(12 + 12) = 2(24) = 48 \text{ meters}
\]

### Responses
- **For 4b:** If side **a** also equals **b**, then the response is **12 meters**.
- **For 4c:** The perimeter is **48 meters**.

If there's any additional context or a different interpretation needed, feel free to clarify!
