Question

A square garden has sides that are 17 meters long. Fencing costs $9.00 per meter. How much would it
cost to put a fence around the garden?

Answer 1

Answer:

$612

Step-by-step explanation:

Each side of the square garden is 17 meters, and fencing costs $9 per meter. "Around" is the key word, as it indicates perimeter. So, we just need to account for each side of the garden, and not the entirety of the garden. So,
