Answer 1

Answer:

It costs $154.88 to build the fences.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of square = $4 \times Side$

We are given that A garden is in the shape of a square with a perimeter of  56 feet.

So,$4 \times side = 56$

Side =$\frac{56}{4}=14 feet$

So, Side of square park = 14 feet

One fence is around the perimeter of the garden, whereas the second fence is 2 feet from the first fence on the outside.

Outer length = 14+2+2=18 feet

So, Perimeter of outer fence = $4 \times side = 4 \times 18 = 72 feet$

Cost of fencing 1 foot = $1.21

Cost of fencing 56 feet =$56 \times 1.21=67.76$

Cost of fencing 72 feet = $72 \times 1.21=87.12$

Total cost = 67.76+87.12=154.88

Hence It costs $154.88 to build the fences.
