Caden wants to put a gate 13 m wide and a fence around his plant which measures 70 m x 30 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 plant?
(a)
Perimeter around the plant
= 70 + 30 + 70 + 30
= 200 m
Fence that Caden needs excluding the gate
= 200 - 13
= 187 m
(b)
Cost of fencing
= 187 x 6
= $1122
Answer(s): (a) 187 m; (b) $1122
