Question

The cost of fencing 1 yard of the following figure is $1. So, the cost of fencing the entire perimeter of the whole figure is .

• A. $16,000
• B. $17,600
• C. $17,000
• D. $15,500

Answer 1

The correct option is B $17,600

We have to find the cost of fencing of the given figure.

$\text{Length (l) = 3 mile}$
$\text{Width (w) = 2 mile}$

Let's find the perimeter first.


$\text{The perimeter of the given figure is 10 mile.}$

$\text{Cost of fencing of 1 yard}=\$1.$

So, let's convert the perimeter to meters first.

$\text{We know that,}$
$\text{1 mile =}$ $\text{1,760 yards}$


Hence, we will multiply 10 with 1,760.

$\text{So, 10 mile}=10\times 1\text{mile}$
$=10\times 1760\text{yard}$
$=17,600\text{yard}$

Now, let's calculate the cost of fencing.


$\text{So, the total cost of fencing is}\$17,600\text{.}$
