Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to first find the perimeter of this oddly-shaped rink. We have a rectangle for which we are enclosing 3 of its sides, and the fourth "side" is a half-circle. Let's find the perimeter (or circumference) of the circle, divide it in half because we have half a circle, then add in the remaining 3 sides from the rectangle, shall we?
C = πd. The diameter of the circle is the same as the shorter length in the rectangle, 26. Therefore,
C = (3.14)(26) so
C = 81.64 m for a whole circle, and for half of that circle, the circumference is
C = 40.82 m
Now we can find the perimeter of the rink:
40.82 + 61 + 26 + 61 = p so
p = 188.82 m
If the fencing costs $6.20 per meter and we have 188.82 m, then the total cost is
. The label "meter" cancels out, leaving us with
cost = $1170.82
