Question

Danny is installing a fence around his rectangular yard. His yard is 20 feet long by 45 feet wide. If the fencing he picked out costs 25$ per foot, how much money will Danny spend on the fence?

Answer 1

Find the perimeter of the yard ( the distance around the yard).

A rectangle has two sides of each dimension.

The perimeter is 20 + 20 + 45 + 45 = 130 feet.

Now multiply the total feet by the cost per foot:

130 feet x 25 per foot = $3,250 total.
