If you need to construct a dog run for your dog and the total perimeter needs to be 40 feet, and you only have enough room to make it 5 feet wide, how long can you make the dog run?

Respuesta :

Answer:15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The total perimeter needed is [tex]40\ ft[/tex]

The available width of the room is [tex]w=5\ ft[/tex]

Suppose l is the length of the room

So, the perimeter of a rectangle-shaped room is [tex]2(l+w)[/tex]

Putting values

[tex]\Rightarrow 40=2(l+5)\\\Rightarrow l+5=20\\\Rightarrow l=15\ ft[/tex]
