Answer 1

Answer:

$1519.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

The dimension of the garden is

Length 14.23

Width 10.13

The perimeter of the garden is

P=2L+2W

P=2(14.23)+2(10.13)

P=28.46+20.26

P=48.72 yards

The total length is 48.72 yards

let us convert to foot

1 yard is 3 ft

hence

in ft we have= 48.72*3

=146.16 ft

the number of 2.5 ft section in 146.16ft is

= 146.16/2.5

=58.464

therefore the cost of the perimeter fence is

58.464*25.99

=$1519.48
