Ответ:
Using appropriate formulas, the dimensions of a rectangle (length and width) can be used to calculate the area of the rectangle and its perimeter. Using the given information, those formulas give two equations in the two unknowns of length and width. Using any of a variety of methods, the solution that satisfies both equations can be found. That solution will provide numerical values for the length and width of the area for the dog.
_____
A = 1600 = L·W
P = 160 = 2(L + W)
Solving the second for L and substituting into the first, we get
L = 80 - W
1600 = (80 -W)·W
W² -80W +1600 = 0 . . . . . subtract the right side, put in standard form
(W -40)² = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . factor the equation
W = 40 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . this has one solution, of multiplicity 2
L = 80 - 40 = 40 . . . . . . . . use the previously developed equation to find L
The dog pen will be a 40-foot square.
___
The graph shows another way to solve these equations. The solution is the point(s) where the curves intersect. There is only one point: L = W = 40.
