A person's rectangular dog pen for his dog must have an area of 200 square feet. also, the length must be 12 feet longer than the width. find the dimensions of the pen.

width = 9.36 ft

length = 21.36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x ft long. Then it follows that the length will be (x+12) ft long.

To calculate the area would then be

x(x+12) = 200

x

x = 9.36 ft or x = -21.36 ft

We take the positive answer. So the dimensions are

width = 9.36 ft

length =  9.36 + 12 = 21.36 ft

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
