The total cost of the fencing is a function of the length of a side x (feet) is 10x + 14y.
<h3>How to find the perimeter?</h3>
The perimeter is made by adding the south, north, east, and west side.
Given that
The cost of fencing for the east and west sides is $7 per foot, and the cost of fencing for the north and south sides is only $5 per foot.
We have to find total cost of the fencing is a function of the length of a side x (feet).
The east and west fencing cost is $7/ft but the south and north fencing cost is $5/ft.
x = north and south fencing
y = the east and west sides, then you can get this equation.
Total cost= (south +north) × 5 + (east+ west) × 7
Total cost =(x + x) × 5 + (y+ y) × 7
Total cost = 5(2x) + 7(2y)
Total cost = 10x + 14y
Hence, the total cost of the fencing is a function of the length of a side x (feet) is 10x + 14y.
