Susan plans to use 120 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular area for a garden. Which equation best models the area, y, of the rectangular garden that she creates if one side is x feet long?

A = lw

a. y = (60 - x) (x)

b. y = (120 - x) (120 + x)

c. y = (120 - x) (x)

d. y = (60 - x) (60 + x)

The area formula is A = lw

the other side is x

the total of the prerimeter is 120, the other side must be the 120 - x

and then A = (120 - x) (x)

the answer is c. y = (120 - x) (x)
