Question

Remington is installing a fence around his

rectangular yard. His yard is 20 feet long
by 45 feet wide. If the fencing he picked
out costs $25 per foot, how much money
will be spent on the fence?

Answer 1

$3,250

Explanation:

Find the perimeter of the yard ( the distance around the yard).

A rectangle has two sides of each dimension.

The perimeter is 20 + 20 + 45 + 45 = 130 feet.

Now multiply the total feet by the cost per foot:

130 feet x 25 per foot = $3,250 total.
