A farmer has 48 feet of fence with which to make a corral. If he arranges it into a rectangle that is twice as long as it is wide, what are the dimensions?
The shorter side is ?
feet while the longer side is ?
feet.

The shorter side is 8 feet

the longer side is 16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

lets call the shorter side x.

let's call the longer side 2x (because it's twice as long as the shorter side)

you know that the perimeter is 48 feet.

the perimeter would be 2(short side) + 2(long side)

using this, you can make the following equation:

2(x) + 2(2x) = 48

open the parenthesis.

2x + 4x = 48

6x = 48

x = 8

2x = 16

the correct answer is semicircle

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is semicircle because the shorter arc joining two points on the circumference of a circle is known as the minor arc, the larger arc is called the major arc, and a semicircle is a half circle, formed by cutting a whole circle along a diameter line.
