Jeremy wants to put a gate 11 m wide and a fence around his manufacturing unit which measures 60 m x 34 m.
- How much fence does he need?
- The cost of fencing is $6 per metre. How much must he pay to put the fence around his manufacturing unit?
(a)
Perimeter around the manufacturing unit
= 60 + 34 + 60 + 34
= 188 m
Fence that Jeremy needs excluding the gate
= 188 - 11
= 177 m
(b)
Cost of fencing
= 177 x 6
= $1062
Answer(s): (a) 177 m; (b) $1062
