Answer:

He needs 1,116 m of wire. If a meter of wire costs $10, then the total wiring will cost $11,160.

Explanation:

Since he wants to double layer the fencing of his house, he'll need at least two times the length of the perimeter of his house in wires. Since his house has a rectangular shape, it's perimeter is given by the following formula:

perimeter = 2*length + 2*width

perimeter = 2*177 + 2*102 = 354 + 204 = 558 m

wire = 2*perimeter = 2*558 = 1116 m

He needs 1116 m of wire.

If each meter of wire costs $10, then the whole wiring will cost:

total cost = wire*10 = 1116*10 = $11,160
