Part I. Find the total perimeter of the grazing area.
Part II.If the cost of the fence is $7.95 per linear foot, how much will it cost to place a fence around the entire grazing area?
Part III.Suppose this grazing area isof an industrial grazing area for a major industry farm.What is the total cost to build a fence around the entire land of the large scaled farm?
