6. A family wants to build a fence in their backyard for their dogs, Charlie and Linus. The enclosed space needs to be a rectangle with an area of 4000 square meters. One side of the enclosed space will be next to the house, so they only need fencing along three sides of the rectangle. How much fencing will they need to buy to minimize the perimeter of the enclosed space?
