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!
