Question

The school decides to put a chain link fence around a soccer field

area. The dimensions are 13 yards by 13 yards. If the contractor
charges $6 per yard, what is the total fence cost?

Answer 1

Answer: $312

Reason:

L = length = 13

W = width = 13

The rectangle has a perimeter of 2*(L+W) = 2*(13+13) = 52 yards. This is the amount of fencing needed. Since the contractor charges $6 per yard of fencing, the total cost is 52*6 = 312 dollars
