Question

shown below is a blueprint for a rectangular kennel at a pet hotel. image of rectangle labeled kennel, 23 feet (vertical) and 14 feet (horizontal) what is the total length of fencing needed to enclose the kennel? the total length needed is ______ feet. the solution is blank

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the perimeter formula for a rectangle

The perimeter \( P \) of a rectangle is given by the formula \( P = 2\times (l + w) \), where \( l \) is the length and \( w \) is the width.

Step2: Identify the length and width

From the diagram, the length \( l = 23 \) feet and the width \( w = 14 \) feet.

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula

Substitute \( l = 23 \) and \( w = 14 \) into the perimeter formula:
\[

$$\begin{align*} P&=2\times(23 + 14)\\ &=2\times37\\ & = 74 \end{align*}$$

\]

Answer:

74
