Jane is fencing in her backyard. The yard is a rectangular area where one side
is the back of her house. The fence will go around only the other 3 sides. The
side opposite the house is the same length as the house, which is 40 feet.
Jane will use 150 feet of fencing.
Which equation can Jane use to decide how long each of the other two sides
of her fence can be?
х
House

Jane has 150 feet of fencing. 40 feet will go for the portion opposite the house, The remaining fencing will go for the two sides of equal length x. That makes 2x for both. So:

The equation then represents the perimeter of the rectangle will be 150 = x + x + 40. Then the correct option is D.

What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

Let L be the length and W be the width of the rectangle.

Then the perimeter of the rectangle will be

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(L + W) units

Jane is fencing in her backyard.

The yard is a rectangular area where one side is the back of her house.

The fence will go around only the other 3 sides.

Then the perimeter of the rectangle will be the sum of the three sides of the rectangle.

The side opposite the house is the same length as the house, which is 40 feet.

Jane will use 150 feet of fencing.

Then the equation then represents the perimeter of the rectangle will be

150 = x + x + 40
