Question 1207594: You need to create a fenced off region of land for cattle to graze.The grazing area must be a total of 500 square feet, surrounded by a fence, and in the shape of a regular polygon.Within this grazing area, the length of the apothem must be 10 feet long.
Part I. Find the total perimeter of the grazing area.
Part II.If the cost of the fence is $7.95 per linear foot, how much will it cost to place a fence around the entire grazing area?
Part III.Suppose this grazing area isof an industrial grazing area for a major industry farm.What is the total cost to build a fence around the entire land of the large scaled farm?
Include all of the necessary calculations in your final answers for Parts I, II, and III.

The formulas you need are:



Note: apothem = little "a",  Area = capital "A", don't confuse them!
