Question 1026103: A family with a swimming pool puts up a chain-link fence around the pool. The fence forms a rectangle 24 yards wide and 20 yards long. If the fence sells for $3.50 per foot, how much will it cost to fence all four sides of the pool? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x Length + 2 x Width
Perimeter = 2(20) + 2(24)
Perimeter = 40 + 48
Perimeter = 88yds
88yds = 264ft
264 x $3.50 = $924.
Hope this helps :-)
