A yard is in the shape of a rectangular 84 ft long and 65 feet long. If fencing cost $10.75 a foot, what will it cost to place fencing around the garden? Round to the nearest cent as needed.

Respuesta :

Answer:

$3203.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the yard = 2 * 84 + 2 *65 =  298 so we need 298 feet of fencing.

The cost = 298 * 10.75

= $3203.50.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a plane shape is the distance around it. The yard is rectangular in shape. The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

The rectangular yard is 84 ft long and 65 feet long. The perimeter of the yard is

2(84 + 65) = 2 × 149 = 298ft²

If fencing cost $10.75 a foot, the total cost of placing fencing around the garden would be

10.75 × 298 = $3203.5 to the nearest cent.
