Question

how much will it cost for him to pull the fence around his entire property? Pls help asap this is due in like 2 hrs

Answer 1

$1265

Explanation:

area = length × width

area = 2800

length = 40

2800 / 40 = 70

So, the width of the lot is 70ft , and the length is 40

when building a fence, it would surround the entire property's perimeter (which is the length of the outside edges/sides of the shape added together)

so, it would need to cover 70 + 40 + 70 + 40

(the perimeter = 70 + 40 + 70 + 40)

= 220

so, if each foot costs 5.75, we can multiply 220 × 5.75 to find the cost:

220 × 5.75 = 1265

So, this will cost him $1265

hope this helps! have a lovely day :)

Answer 2

$1265

Explanation:

the area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = length × width

here length = 40 and A = 2800 , then

2800 = 40 × width ( divide both sides by 40 )

70 = width

the perimeter (P) is calculated as

P = 2(length + width) = 2(40 + 70) = 2 × 110 = 220 ft

cost = 220 × $5.75 = $1265
