"A mathematical model is a description of a system using mathematical concepts and language. The process of developing a mathematical model is termed mathematical modeling. Mathematical models are used in the natural sciences (such as physics, biology, earth science, chemistry) and engineering disciplines (such as computer science, electrical engineering), as well as in the social sciences (such as economics, psychology, sociology, political science).

A model may help to explain a system and to study the effects of different components, and to make predictions about behavior."

Mikayla planted a garden in her backyard in the shape of a right triangle. The two legs of the triangle are 12 feet each. Fencin

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

$204.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two legs be the adjacent and the opposite of the right triangle. To get the third side (the hypotenuse), we will use the pythagoras theorem;

$hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2\\hyp^2 =12^2+12^2\\hyp^2 = 144+144\\hyp^2 = 288\\hyp = \sqrt{288}\\hyp = 16.97 feet$

Perimeter of the garden will be the sum of all the three sides.

Perimeter of the garden = 12 + 12 + 16.97

Perimeter of the garden = 40.97 feet

Since 1 foot = $5

40.97 feet = x

Cross multiply

1*x = 5*40.97

x = 204.85

Hence it will cost $204.85 to fence the entire perimeter of the garden
