Luke wants to put a gate 19 m wide and a fence around his manufacturing unit which measures 65 m x 35 m.
- How much fence does he need?
- The cost of fencing is $4 per metre. How much must he pay to put the fence around his manufacturing unit?
(a)
Perimeter around the manufacturing unit
= 65 + 35 + 65 + 35
= 200 m
Fence that Luke needs excluding the gate
= 200 - 19
= 181 m
(b)
Cost of fencing
= 181 x 4
= $724
Answer(s): (a) 181 m; (b) $724
