Problema Solution
a woman fences 3 m by 4 m rectangular plot to keep her chickens in. the fencing cost$1.20 per metre. how much does it cost to fence the plot.
Answer provided by our tutors
First we will find the circumference of the rectangular plot:
C = 2(3 + 4)
C = 14 m
Since the fencing cost $1.20 per meter, 14 meters of fence will cost 14 times that amount:
14*1.20 = $16.80
It costs $16.80 to fence the plot.
