a garden is in the shape of a square with a perimeter of 42 feet. the garden is surrounded by two fences. one fence is around the perimeter of the garden, whereas th second fence is 3 feet from the first fence.if the material used to build the two fences is $1.28 per foot, what is the total cost of the fence
:
3 ft between the fences would have an addition of 3 ft to each side of the garden or 12 ft
therefore
42 + (42+12) = 96 ft of fencing required,
then
96 * 1.28 = $122.88 cost for the two fences.
