Question

Marcie wants to enclose her yard with a fence. Her yard is in the shape of a triangle attached to a rectangle. See the figure below.

Answer 1

The area of this figure can be found by the formula A = (wh) + 0.5(bh). If Marcie wants the total area to be larger than a specified value, she can use the formula A > (wh)+ 0.5(bh). Rewrite this formula to solve for b. Show all steps in your work.
