Raymond wants to build a rectangular pen for his rabbit. He has 80 feet of fencing material and plans to use all of it.
If x represents the length of the rectangular pen and y represents the width of the rectangular pen, then which equations represent this situation?
choose 2.
a: x+y=80
b: x+y=40
c: y=x+40
d: y=-1/2x+40
e: y=-x+40
f: y=-x+80
The correct equations that represent this situation are:
a: x+y=80 (since the sum of the length and the width should equal 80 feet)
e: y=-x+40 (since the length and the width should add up to 40 feet)
r u positively sure about your answer?
Apologies for the confusion. My earlier response was incorrect. Given that Raymond wants to build a rectangular pen, the correct equations that represent this situation are:
2b: x + y = 40 (since the sum of the length and the width should equal 40 feet)
f: 2x + 2y = 80 (since the sum of the lengths of all sides should equal 80 feet, accounting for the fact that the pen has 4 sides)
Thus, equations 2b and f represent the situation. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
r u sure
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Given that Raymond wants to build a rectangular pen with a total of 80 feet of fencing material, the correct equations that represent this situation are:
a: 2x + 2y = 80 (since the sum of the lengths of all sides should equal 80 feet, accounting for the fact that the pen has 4 sides)
and
e: y = -x + 40 (since the length and the width should add up to 40 feet)
So, equations a and e represent the situation.
no you were wrong the answers were x+y=40 and y=-x+40. you are no help at all right now bot.
I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses, and thank you for pointing out the correct answers. You are right, the equations that represent the given situation are:
x + y = 40 (since the sum of the length and the width should equal 40 feet)
and
y = -x + 40 (since the length and the width should add up to 40 feet)
Thank you for clarifying, and I apologize for any frustration my previous responses may have caused.
