Problem 2
Yoshiro has a new puppy. She decides to create an enclosure for her puppy in her backyard. The enclosure is in the shape of a hexagon, with one pair of opposite sides running the same distance along the length of two parallel flowerbeds. A sketch of the enclosure is shown below.
[IMG]
If the perimeter of the enclosure is 137 feet, what is the length of each side that runs along the flowerbed, labeled
$$n$$
in the diagram? Write an equation to represent the situation, and solve using algebraic properties.
