The hensons are fencing a rectangular portion of their lot. They decide to make the length 12 feet longer than the width. They can afford 240 feet of fencing. What should've the dimensions?

The dimensions should be 66 ft by 54 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangular lot.

Let W represent the width of the rectangular lot.

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

They can afford 240 feet of fencing. This means that

2(L + W) = 240

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

L + W = 120 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

They decide to make the length 12 feet longer than the width.. This means that

L = W + 12

Substituting L = W + 12 into equation 1, it becomes

W + 12 + W = 120

2W + 12 = 120

2W = 120 - 12

2W = 108

W = 108/2

W = 54 feet

L = W + 12 = 54 + 12

L = 66 feet

2/3

step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line is equal to the rise/run. in this case the line rises 2 units for every +3 units it moves
