Hi, dear professors:
I should be able to do this here problem by now quite easily, I find myself struggling with the solution, though.
If fencing is $ 4.00 per yard, how much will it cost a farmer to fence a rectangular field with dimension 300 ft by 600 ft.
Given
fencing is $.00 per yard
width 300 ft
length 600 ft
cost of fencing=?
This is definitely about founding the area of the rectangular field.
Area of a rectangular= l*w
A= 600 ft * 300 ft
A=180,000 ft^2 (the area of the rectangular field)
Now, it says that the cost of 1 yard =4.00 dollars
so, there are three feet to a yard
so, 3 ft of fencing costs =4 dollars
the area has 180,000 ft
I am stuck here, any hint as to how to proceed to find the cost?
Thanks in advance,
eddy
