Problema Solution
A school playground Is in the shape of a rectangle 500 feet long and 400 feet wide in fencing cost $15 per yard what will it cost to place fencing around the playground
Answer provided by our tutors
The perimeter of the playground is:
P = 2(500 + 400)
P = 1,800 ft
1 yd = 3 feet
1 ft = 1/3 yd
P = 1,800*(1/3) yd
P = 600 yd
The cost of the fencing is $15 per yard thus the total cost for 600 yards fencing is:
15*600 = $9,000
It will cost $9,000 to place fencing around the playground.
