Sari is creating 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?(1 point)

Question

feet

Answer 1

Let the length be represented by "L".
Since the dog run is rectangular, its width is 8 feet.
The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W, where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width.
In this case, the perimeter is 40 feet.
So, we can write the equation 40 = 2L + 2(8).
Simplifying, we have 40 = 2L + 16.
Subtracting 16 from both sides of the equation gives us 24 = 2L.
Dividing both sides by 2 gives us L = 12.
Therefore, the length will be 12 feet.

Answer 2

its 12

Answer 3

ah,,, :
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
40/2 = Length + 8/2
NO
40/2 = Length + 8
length = 20 - 8 = 12
