Hey there! :)

If the width is 10 ft and the farmer wants the length to be 3x the width:

Length = 3w

W = 10

10 × 3 = 30

The width is 10 ft and the length is 30 ft.

Remember: You have to find the perimeter

Perimeter = 2l + 2w

l = 30
30 × 2 = 60

w = 10
10 × 2 = 20

60 + 20 = 80

Your answer is 80 ft of fencing

Hope this helps :)
