A bakery is 13 yards wide and 19 yards long .The baker wants to put a wooden shelf around the inside of the bakery.The wooden shelf cost 14.17 per yard. How much will the bakers shelf cost?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Perimeter of a shape is the distance around it. The bakery is rectangular. The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

Where

L represents the length of the rectangle.

W represents the width of the rectangle.

The bakery is 13 yards wide and 19 yards long. Therefore,

Perimeter = 2(13 + 19) = 64 yards

The wooden shelf cost 14.17 per yard. Therefore, the total cost of the bakers shelf is

64 × 14.17 = 906.88
