Arectangular fish pond fish pond is 21 square feet in area. if the owner can surround the pond with a 20-foot fence, what are the dimensions of the pond?

The perimeter is 20 feet, half the perimeter Would be 10 feet.

Need 2 numbers when added together equal 10 and when multiplied together equal the area of 21.

3 and 7 The pond is 3 feet by 7 feet.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
