Question

A farmer need to build a goat pen. The pen will be 5 meters wide and 16 meters long. The fencing material costs $8. 00 per meter. How much will it cost to buy enough fencing material to build the goat pen

Answer 1

$336

Explanation:

Find the perimeter, 5x2 + 16x2 = 10 + 32 = 42

Fencing material = $8 per 1 meter

42 meters, so 42 * 8 = $336

Answer 2

first, find the perimeter: 16 + 16 + 5 + 5 = 42 meters. then multiply 42 by the price of each meter, which is $8.00. 42 x 8 = $336 to build the fence. :D
