Caden wants to put a gate 13 m wide and a fence around his factory which measures 66 m x 34 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 factory?
(a)
Perimeter around the factory
= 66 + 34 + 66 + 34
= 200 m
Fence that Caden needs excluding the gate
= 200 - 13
= 187 m
(b)
Cost of fencing
= 187 x 7
= $1309
Answer(s): (a) 187 m; (b) $1309
