Sari is creatig a dog run space in her backyard. She has 40 feet of fencing to go around the outside, and she wants to make it rectangular with a width of 8 feet. What will the length be, in feet?

Answer 1

To find the length of the rectangle, we can subtract the width from the total length of the fence.

Total length of the fence = 40 feet
Width of the rectangle = 8 feet

Length = Total length of the fence - Width
Length = 40 feet - 8 feet
Length = 32 feet

The length of the rectangle will be 32 feet.
