Answer:
The width is 14ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Fence = 78[/tex]
[tex]Length = 25[/tex]
Required
Determine the width
To do this, we assume that the fence is a rectangle
So, we use the following formula.
[tex]Perimeter = 2 * [Length + Width}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]Perimeter = Fence = 78[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]78= 2 * [25 + Width}[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]39= 25 + Width[/tex]
Solve for Width
[tex]Width = 39 - 25[/tex]
[tex]Width = 14[/tex]
