Question

Mr.Richard has an orchard of length and breadth 280m and 200m respectively. He wants to fence it with 4 rounds of barbed wire. Find the cost of fencing at $35 per metre.

Answer 1

$109.71

Explanation:

first we find the perimeter

=2(280+200)

=2×480

=960m

now we multiply it by 4 as he wants it 4 times around

960×4

3840

now we find the fencing cost

since 35 per meter we divide it by 35

3840/35

=$109.71
