    Length of the sheep pen = 60ft

    150 ft of fencing bought

    One side of rectangular sheep pen is covered with barn which is equaling the width

    perimeter of rectangular sheep pen = 2 (length + width)

    length need to covered is 2 Length + width

    150 = 2 length+width

    150 = 2 x60 + width

    150-120 = width

    30 = width

    Area of rectangle = 60 x 30

    180 ft2
