Carl wants to put a gate 14 m wide and a fence around his factory which measures 58 m x 41 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 factory?
(a)
Perimeter around the factory
= 58 + 41 + 58 + 41
= 198 m
Fence that Carl needs excluding the gate
= 198 - 14
= 184 m
(b)
Cost of fencing
= 184 x 6
= $1104
Answer(s): (a) 184 m; (b) $1104
