Question

A rctangular block of land is 52m long and 36m wide.A fence is to be erected on the two long sides and no one of the shorts sides.Find the cost of fencing the block if the fence is priced at $30.50 per year

Answer 1

Answer:

$3,172

Explanation:

Is that $30.50 per meter?

The perimeter of a rectangle is simply adding all the sides together or 2(l + w). But they want only the long sides, which is 52 meters. 52 + 52 = 104 meters. If it's $30.50 per meter and there is 104 meters, you do 30.5 × 104.

30.5 × 104 = $3,172
