Answer:
Area= 2000 feet^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Know how to find the perimeter and the area of a rectangle
area=length*width
perimeter= 2*length + 2*width
Draw a rectangle
The question states that the pasture is 50 feet long
So the length of the rectangle pasture should be 50. We can label the 2 lengths of the rectangle to be 50 feet long
Since the farmer only has 160 feet of fence, we can say that because the pasture is a rectangle, we can label the width as 40 because 2*50+2*40=160
Now that we know the length and width, we can find the area by multiplying those 2 values together to get 2000
