Question

Joseph wants to line his garden with a fence that cost $2.25 per foot. The length of the garden is 6 yards and the width is 2.5 yards. what is the total cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

$38.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2W + 2L

(where W is the width and L is the length)

Given:

• width = 2.5 yd
• length = 6 yd

⇒ perimeter = (2 x 2.5) + (2 x 6)

                     = 5 + 12

                     = 17 yd

Given:

• cost of fence = $2.25 per foot

⇒ total cost = 17 x 2.25

                    = $38.25

Answer 2

• Length=L=6yds
• Width=B=2.5yds

Perimeter:-

• 2(L+B)
• 2(6+2.5)
• 2(8.5)
• 17yd

Toatl cost::

• 17(2.25)
• 34+4.25
• 38.25$
