the Kelly family bought a new pet rabbit. They want to build an enclosure outside so it has lots of room to roam. They have 30 feet of leftover lumber to use. Find the length and width of the enclosure if the length is to be 4fteet longer than twice the width.
assume that since this is a simple math problem and they only mentioned legnth and witdth, assume a perfect rectangle
so assuming they use all the lumber 30=perimiter perimiter=legnth around=legnth+legnth+with+width
30=2legnth+2width undistribute 30=2(legnth+width) divide by 2 15=legnth+width legnth is 4 more than 2width legnth=4+2width subsitute 15=legnth+width 15=4+2width+width subtract 4 11=2width+width divide by 3 11/3=width
legnth=4+2width legnth=4+2 times (11/3) lefnth=4+22/3 4=12/3 legnth=12/3+22/3 legnth=34/3 feet=11 and 1/3 foot
