Kelly has 236 feet of fence to use to enclose a rectan space for her dog. She wants the width to be 23 feet. rectangle that could be the space for Kelly's dog. La length and the width.
P = 2L + 2W
236 = 2L + 46
190 = 2L
95 = L
To find the dimensions of the rectangle, we can use the given information that Kelly has 236 feet of fence and wants the width to be 23 feet.
Let's denote the length of the rectangle as L and the width as W.
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides. For a rectangle, this can be represented as:
Perimeter = 2L + 2W
Since Kelly has 236 feet of fence, we can set up the equation:
2L + 2W = 236
We're given that the width is 23 feet, so we can substitute W = 23 into the equation:
2L + 2(23) = 236
Simplifying the equation:
2L + 46 = 236
Subtracting 46 from both sides:
2L = 190
Dividing both sides by 2:
L = 95
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 95 feet and the width is 23 feet, making the dimensions of the rectangular space for Kelly's dog 95 feet by 23 feet.
