Mason has 108 feet of material to build a fence around a rectangular pool on his property. If the width of the fence must be 6 feet, what is the length of the fence in yards if he uses all 108 feet of material? A. 48 yards B. 16 yards C. 96 yards D. 32 yards

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option A (48 yards).

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of any shape other than the ellipse is given by:

Perimeter = Sum of all sides.

Since there are two pairs of lines and both lines in the pair are congruent in each other in a rectangle, the formula can be updated as:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W; where L is the length and W is the width.

The perimeter of the fence around the rectangular pool is 108 feet and the width of the pool is 6 feet. The length can be calculated by plugging in the values in the above equation:

108 = 2L + 2(6).

2L = 108 - 12.

L = 96/2.

L = 48 feet.

So Option A is the correct answer!!!

16yards
