Nick wants to put a gate 20 m wide and a fence around his manufacturing unit which measures 69 m x 41 m.
- How much fence does he need?
- The cost of fencing is $5 per metre. How much must he pay to put the fence around his manufacturing unit?
(a)
Perimeter around the manufacturing unit
= 69 + 41 + 69 + 41
= 220 m
Fence that Nick needs excluding the gate
= 220 - 20
= 200 m
(b)
Cost of fencing
= 200 x 5
= $1000
Answer(s): (a) 200 m; (b) $1000
