Question

A fence is to be built around an entire rectangular field which measures 210 ft by 173 ft. If fencing costs $4.29 per foot, what will the cost be of the fence? (Step by step response please)

Answer 1

The rectangle has two sides 210 ft and 2 sides 173 ft.

Find total feet of fence by adding all four sides:

Total fence needed : 210 + 210 + 173 + 173 = 766 feet.

Multiply total feet by cost per foot:

766 feet x 4.29 = 3,286.14

Cost: $3,286.14
