Question

A rectangle garden has a length of 42cm and a width of 36 cm. of fencing cost 4.00$ a meter. how much will it cost to fence the garden? grade 5 math

Answer 1

$624

Explanation:

The width is the smaller side and there are four sides to a rectangle so 2 sides are 36 cm and 2 sides are 42cm. The perimeter formula follows this P=(L+W)*2 so plugging the variables (42+36)*2= 156. So there are 156 meters of fencing and each meter costs $4.00. Thus, 156*4=$624
