Simon wants to put a gate 10 m wide and a fence around his manufacturing unit which measures 69 m x 44 m.
- How much fence does he need?
- The cost of fencing is $7 per metre. How much must he pay to put the fence around his manufacturing unit?
(a)
Perimeter around the manufacturing unit
= 69 + 44 + 69 + 44
= 226 m
Fence that Simon needs excluding the gate
= 226 - 10
= 216 m
(b)
Cost of fencing
= 216 x 7
= $1512
Answer(s): (a) 216 m; (b) $1512
