Eric wants to put a gate 19 m wide and a fence around his manufacturing unit which measures 64 m x 37 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
= 64 + 37 + 64 + 37
= 202 m
Fence that Eric needs excluding the gate
= 202 - 19
= 183 m
(b)
Cost of fencing
= 183 x 6
= $1098
Answer(s): (a) 183 m; (b) $1098
