Question

You have $3000 to enclose a rectangular piece of property with a fence. The fence costs $9 per foot. A scale drawing of the property has a length of 8 inches and a width of 7 inches. The scale is 1 in. : 12 ft. How much will it cost to enclose the property with the fence? Do you have enough money?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

C=9P

P=2(L+W)

C=18(L+W)

C=18(8(12)+7(12))

C=18(96+84)

C=18(180)

C=$3240

So you do not have enough money to enclose the property.
