BENJamin is putting a fence around his rectangular shaped yard.the yard is 35 feet long and 22 feet wide. The cost of the fence is $7.25 fer foot. How much will he spend to put fencing around half of his yard
Perimeter: 2l+2w=P Plug in: 2(35)+3(22)=P Solve: 70+66=136 The total perimeter of his yard is 136 feet. Half times $7.25: 136/2=68(7.25)=493 The total cost for half his yard is $493 :)
