Jason has 144 feet of material to build a fence a round a rectangular garden on his property if the widht of the fence must be 9 feet what is the lenght of the fence in yards if hes uses all 144 feet of material?

Respuesta :

To find the length of the fence, we first need to determine the perimeter of the rectangular garden, which is the total length of all four sides.

Let's denote the length of the garden as L and the width as W.

Given that the width of the fence is 9 feet and Jason has 144 feet of material, we have:

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

Substituting the given values:

144 = 2(L + 9)

Now, solve for L:

144 = 2L + 18

Subtract 18 from both sides:

144 - 18 = 2L

126 = 2L

Divide both sides by 2:

L = 63 feet

To convert the length from feet to yards, divide by 3 (since 1 yard = 3 feet):

63 feet / 3 = 21 yards

So, the length of the fence is 21 yards if Jason uses all 144 feet of material.
