Perry wants to put a gate 19 m wide and a fence around his plant which measures 67 m x 38 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 plant?
(a)
Perimeter around the plant
= 67 + 38 + 67 + 38
= 210 m
Fence that Perry needs excluding the gate
= 210 - 19
= 191 m
(b)
Cost of fencing
= 191 x 4
= $764
Answer(s): (a) 191 m; (b) $764
