Jason has 36 m of fencing.

Question

Jason has 2 different ways to fence his pool

a.) he can make a square fence

b.) he can make a fence with the length of the fence twice the width

1.) find the dimensions of each fence

2.) find the area of each fence

Answer 1

36/4 = 9 meters by 9 meters for the square,

with an area = 9x9 = 81 m^2

for a rectangle with L=2W

3W =36/2 = 18

W =18/3 = 6 meters Wide

L = 12 meters Long

Area =12x6 = 72 m^2
