To find the length of the dog run space, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is P = 2L + 2W.
Since the question states that the perimeter is 40 feet and the width is 8 feet, we can plug in these values into the formula:
40 = 2L + 2(8)
Simplifying the equation, we get:
40 = 2L + 16
Subtracting 16 from both sides:
24 = 2L
Dividing both sides by 2:
12 = L
Therefore, the length of the dog run space will be 12 feet.
