Calculating Dimensions and Perimeter for Fencing a Pet - Friendly Yard Congratulations, you have just purchased your first house. Unfortunately, the builder forgot to put a fence around the property and you must now put a fence up so that you can let your pet out in the backyard, without fear of it running away. You want to fence in a rectangular area, but first you must determine the dimensions of the area. Different pets need to have different areas. For example, a horse needs more space than a dog. Determine an area that is appropriate for your pet. 1. Define the shape of the rectangular area by establishing a relationship between the length and width of the rectangle. For example, L = 2W + 5, or W = 3L – 4. Be sure to include the appropriate units (inches, feet, yards, miles, or meters). Answer: 1. Defining the Shape of the Rectangular Area: To define the shape of the rectangular area, we need to establish a relationship between the length (L) and the width (W) of the rectangle. For this example, let's assume the following relationship: L = 3W + 6 In this equation: • L represents the length of the rectangular area (in feet). • W represents the width of the rectangular area (in feet).
