Question

The dimensions of a property are shown in the figure below.

How much would it cost to fence in this property if fencing costs $5.00 per foot? 

       A. $1,925   B. $385   C. $825   D. $1,425

Answer 1

i think a .$1,925 . because fencing is expensive or costs a lot of money.

Answer 2

The answer is the option D

`\$1,425`

Explanation:

Convert mixed numbers to an improper fractions

`75(1)/(2)=(75*2+1)/(2)=(151)/(2)\ ft`

`50(1)/(6)=(50*6+1)/(6)=(301)/(6)\ ft`

`39(1)/(3)=(39*3+1)/(3)=(118)/(3)\ ft`

Find the perimeter of the figure

`P=120+(118)/(3)+(151)/(2)+(301)/(6)`

`P=(120*6+118*2+151*3+301)/(6)`

`P=(1,710)/(6)\ ft`

Multiply the perimeter by the fencing cost per foot

so

`(1,710)/(6)*5=\$1,425`
