Re: find dimensions of square corral, given 200 ft of fencin
Do you know how to find the area of a rectangle or square?
If you do, you're set. You just need to remember that a square is comprised of four equal sides, meaning that length is equal to width.
area=l*w
l=w
Satisfy those conditions and you're in.

Let's try to keep things simple here.
It says the corral is to be SQUARE.....so all four sides must be equal.
You have 200 feet of fence to use.
If you need four sides, all eaual, out of 200 feet of fence, wouldn't each side of the corral be 200/4 or 50 feet?

the area of a square is side times side
In our case 50 ft times 50 ft = 2500 square feet
