Question

A farmer wants to fence in a section of land for a horse pasture. Fencing costs $30 per yard. How much will it cost to fence the pasture?

Answer 1

I think its $13,650

Explanation:

144/3=48 yards

210/3=70 yards

345/3=115 yards

345/3=115 yards

345/3=115 yards

48+70+115+115+115=455 yards

455x30= $13,650

Answer 2

$13,890

Explanation:

One yard equals three feet.

First, add up all your side lengths to get the perimeter.

144+210+345+345+345=1389 ft

In order to get the perimeter in yards you would have to divide 1389 by 3.

1389 / 3 = 463 yrds

With a perimeter of 463 yrds you would have to multiply it by the $30 per yard.

463 x 30= $13,890

So, to fence in a section of land for a horse pasture it would cost $13,890.
