Question

You are installing a fence around your yard. In the figure,
your yard is rectangle ABCD. Each unit in the coordinate
plane represents 10 feet.
a. What is the perimeter of your entire yard
b. You consider only installing a fence around your backyard represented by rectangle ABEF what is the perimeter of your backyard?
c. The cost of fencing is $50 for each 6 foot section how much do you say by only installing a fence in the backyard?

Answer 1

Perimeter of a shape can be determined by the sum of its individual sides. Thus, the answers to the given questions are:

(a) 360 feet

(b) 240 feet

(c) $1000.0

Perimeter can simply be defined as the sum of all sides of a given figure or shape. Thus, the solutions required can be determined as follows:

(a) Side AB = CA = (7 - 1) x 10 feet

                            = 6 x 10 feet

                            = 60 feet

    Side AD = BC = 13 - 1

                            = 12 x 10 feet

                            = 120 feet

The perimeter of the entire yard = 60 + 120 + 60 + 120

                                                      = 360

Perimeter of the entire yard = 360 feet

(b) Side AB = EF = 60 feet

    Side FA = BE = (7 -1) x 10 feet

                                    = 60 feet

So that,

The perimeter of the backyard = 60 feet x 4

                                     = 240

Perimeter of the backyard = 240 feet

(c) The cost of installing a fence in the entire yard = $\frac{360}{6}$ x $50

                                     = $3000.0

 The cost of installing a fence in the back yard = $\frac{240}{6}$ x $50

                                    = $2000.0

The amount saved by only installing a fence in the back yard = $3000.0 - $2000.0

                                   = $1000.0

Thus, the amount saved by only installing a fence in the back yard is $1000.0
