Nathena needs to buy a fence to put around her rectangular yard for her dog. Nathena forgot the width of his yard, but knows the legth is 30 yards. Her husband told her to buy 180 yards of fence. What is the greatest possible width for Nathena's yard?

The real answer is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Fairly simple. You know the length and the area, but you don't know the width. So your equation looks like this: 30 x ? = 180. But to figure out the width, you change the position of the numbers in the equation like this:

180 ÷ 30 = ?. Then you solve. 180 ÷ 30 = 6. If you want to double check your answer, you can plug in your answer to your original equation, 30 x 6 = 180.

Hope this helps!

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
