Step-by-step explanation:

If the width of the rectangle is 13.93 feet. Then the length of the fence that is around the rectangular yard is 83.57 ft.

What is a rectangle?

It has four sides and is a polygon. The internal angle adds up to 360 degrees. The opposing sides of a rectangle are parallel and equal, and each angle is 90 degrees. Its diagonals are equally equal, intersecting at the middle.

You want to build a fence around a rectangular yard. The width is 1/2 the length and the area of the rectangle is 388 square feet.

Let width be x and y be the length of the rectangle.

x = (1/2)y

y = 2x

Then the area of the rectangle is given as

Area = Length × Width

388 = 2x × x

     x = 13.93 feet

Then the length of the fence will be

Fence length = 2(x + y)

Fence length = 2(x + 2x)

Fence length = 2(3x)

Fence length = 6x

Fence length = 6 × 13.93

Fence length = 83.57 ft
