Determining Dimensions and Perimeter for Fencing a Rectangular BackyardArea for PetsCongratulations, you have just purchased your first house. Unfortunately, the builder forgot toput a fence around the property and you must now put a fencethat isbetween 30and90(cannot use 60)yardsup so that you can let your pet out in the backyard, without fear of itrunning away.You want to fence in a rectangular area, but first you must determine thedimensions of the area.Different pets need to have different areas.
