A farmer has 180 yards of fencing material to make a rectangular
pen subdivided into 3 smaller pens. If the total length of the pens
is to be 60 yards, at most, how wide can the rectangle be?

Respuesta :

Answer: 60 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Here: subdivided into 3 smaller pens (2w + w + w) extra widths for separation purposes (3 smaller pens)

180 yards of fencing material

180yd = 2L + 4w

180dy = 2*60 + 4w

60dy = 4w

w = 15yd, how wide can the rectangle can  be with L = 60yd
