Bryce has 220 feet of fencing that will enclose a rectangular corral. One side of the corral will be 48 feet long. What will be the area of the corral?

The area of the corral is 2976 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have the perimeter of the rectangle given as 220 ft

Therefore, since in a rectangle, we have 2 sides of the four sides equal, that is;

Perimeter = 2×One side + 2×Other side

or Perimeter = 2×X + 2×Y

Here perimeter = 220 ft = 2×X + 2×Y

As one of the sides is 48 ft, we have;

220 ft = 2 × 48 + 2×Y

Therefore, 2×Y = 220 ft - 2×48 ft = 124 ft

∴ Y = 124 ft ÷ 2 = 62 ft

The area of the corral = Area of rectangle = Length × Width = 62 ft × 48 ft

Area of the corral = 2976 ft².

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
