330+330+330+144+189= 1323 ft

1323/3 = 441 yards

441yrds times $31 = $13671

Answer:$13671

Explanation:

The land the farmer will fence is equal to the sum of the lengths of all the sides of the land=330+330+330+189+144=1323 ft.

3 ft= 1 yard.

1 323 ft = 1323÷3=441 yards

Cost of fencing per yard is $31.

cost of fencing 441 yards=441x31=$13671.
