Daniel wants to put a gate 14 m wide and a fence around his manufacturing unit which measures 70 m x 43 m.
- How much fence does he need?
- The cost of fencing is $8 per metre. How much must he pay to put the fence around his manufacturing unit?
(a)
Perimeter around the manufacturing unit
= 70 + 43 + 70 + 43
= 226 m
Fence that Daniel needs excluding the gate
= 226 - 14
= 212 m
(b)
Cost of fencing
= 212 x 8
= $1696
Answer(s): (a) 212 m; (b) $1696
