Can you please help me figure out what to do? ... here is the question ... I have 20 ft of fencing to make a rectangular pen for my dog. What is the largest area that I can fence in? ... Not sure what to do ... thank you!

Answer 1

The dimensions of your pen could be
2 feet by 8 feet
or
3 feet by 7 feet
or
4 feet by 6 feet
or
5 feet by 5 feet

To find the area, multiply the length times the width. Which set of dimensions gives you the largest area?

If you post your answer, we'll be glad to check it.
