Mya wants to create a rectangular garden that will be 25 feet wide. She has 110 feet of
fencing to put around her garden. If she uses all of her fencing, how many square feet of
garden space will Mya have? Draw a picture and show your work.

Respuesta :

750 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

since the fencing is going around the perimeter, you have to have two sides with the width of 25 feet, you would use 50 feet of fencing for 2 of the sides. You will have 60 feet of fencing left, divided by 2 (length of the garden) = 30 feet long.

The area (length x width) or (25 x 30) = 750 sq ft of garden space. Draw a rectangle with 25 ft on two parallel sides and 30 ft on the other two sides and show these equation= 25 x 2= 50, 110 - 50 = 60

60 ÷ 2 = 30, 30 x 25 = 750
