convert the flower bed from yardage to feet by multiplying by 3 (3 feet in a yard)
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 6*3 or 18 feet
\n" ); document.write( "Width = 1*3 or 3 feet\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then use the formula:
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2*length + 2*width\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(18)+2(3)
\n" ); document.write( "perimeter = 36+6
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 42 feet\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "But you want a double layer of edging, so you will need:
\n" ); document.write( "2*42 feet of edging
\n" ); document.write( "84 feet of edging.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If edging costs 2.32 per foot (12\"stone = 1 foot)
\n" ); document.write( "84 feet*$2.32=$194.88 total
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
