A triangular flower bed (space for planting flowers) needs a thin metal border all the way around it. The sides are 7 feet, 6 feet, and 9 feet long. How many feet of border should be purchased?

If borders cost $8.75 per yard (and only whole numbers of yards can be purchased), how much would the border cost?

6+7+9=24

8.75x24=$21.00
