Question 165165: If it costs $4000 to build a sidewald around a rectangular field whose dimenstions are 300 yd by 600 yd, how much will it cost to build a sidewald around a rectangular field whose dimenstions are 200 yd by 600 yd?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4000/(2*300+2*400)=x/(2*200+2*600)
4000/(600+800)=x/(400+1200)
4000/1400=x/1600
1400x=1600*4000
1400x=6,400,000
x=6,400,000/1,400
x=$4,571.43 is the cost of the new sidewald.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the perimeter of the first field
.
and then divide the total cost by the perimeter to find the cost/yard of construction.
.
Next find the perimeter of the second field
Plug the perimeter into the formula cost=perimeter*(cost/yard).
.
cost=$3555.56
