Corral Dimensions and Equations

The video tutorial explains how to determine the dimensions of a horse corral enclosed on three sides next to a barn using 110 yards of fence, with a total perimeter of 164 yards. The problem is set up by recognizing the corral as a rectangle and formulating two equations based on the given information. The tutorial demonstrates solving the system of equations using the elimination method to find the values of x and y, representing the dimensions of the corral. The final solution reveals the corral's dimensions as 28 yards by 54 yards.

What is the total length of the fence used for the corral?

• 54 yards

• 28 yards

• 164 yards

• 110 yards
