Question

What is the cost of constructing a fence 6 ft., 6 in. high around a lot measuring 90 feet by 175 feet, if the cost of erecting the fence is $1.25 per linear foot, and the cost of materials is $.825 per square foot of fence?

Answer 1

the cost of fencing comes out to be $ 3504.625

Explanation:

to find the cost of construction of fence

dimension of fence 6 ft., 6 in. high

dimension = 90 ft × 175 ft

cost of erecting the fence is $1.25 per linear foot

cost of material = $.825 per square foot of fence

area of fencing = 2× ( 6.5 ft × 90 ft ) + 2 × (6.5 ft × 175 ft)

= 3445 ft²

perimeter of fence = 2 × 90 + 2 × 175

= 530 ft

cost of fencing = 3445 × 0.825 + 530 × 1.25

= $ 3504.625

hence, the cost of fencing comes out to be $ 3504.625
