Question 977343: the school playground is in the shape of a rectangle 600 feet long and 300 feet wide. If Fencing cost $21 per yard what will it cost to place fencing around the playground? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
What you require to find out is
the perimeter of the playground.
Perimeter = (2 x Length) + (2 x width)
Perimeter = (2 x 600) + (2 x 300)
Perimeter = 1200 + 600
Perimeter = 1800 feet
There are 3ft in a yard
Therefore: 1800 ft = 600 yards
600 x $21 = $12,600.
Hope this helps:-)
