Solution

Here the area and the width of the rectangular fence are given. We have to find length of the fence.
( diagram )
The area A of a rectangle is given by the formula A=lw where l is the length and w is the width.
Given that area is 500 square feet and width is 20 feet.
Substituting values in formula,
500=l×20
50020=1×2020 [ Dividing both sides by 20 ]
l=25 feet
length of rectangular fence is 25 feet.
Hence, the answer is 25.
