How much will it be to fence a area of 418 square ft at 6.95 per foot?

Answer 1

This depends on the dimensions of your area. The area could be 2 feet by 209ft, orany other two numbers that, when multiplied together, equal 418. You see you have the area in square feet, but you need to find the perimeter to find this answer, because you would only place a fence around the outside of the area, not on every foot. So, once you know your dimensions or sides of this rectangular area, you can add up the length of walking around the entire outside of the rectangle until you end up where you started, and multiply that number by your amount of money per foot. For example: I'm Fencing in a yard that is 10 ft by 6 ft. The area of this yard will be 10ftx6ft=60 square feet. However, I want the perimeter, so I add up the outside of the yard...10ft+6ft+10ft+6ft=32 ft. So I need 32 feet of fencing for the outside length of my yard. If fencing costs 6.95 per foot, like it does in your problem, I now take my perimeter number and multiply this by the money per foot, calculating the total cost of my fencing in the yard. 32 ft x 6.95 = ? This is the part you can do! Hope this helps! Teacheranna
