Samuel plans to install a fence around the perimeter of his yard. His yard is shaped like a square and has an area of 40,000 square feet. The company that he hires charges $2.50 pe foot for the fencing and $50.00 for the installation fee. What will be the cost of the fence, , in dollars?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$450

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the square is 40,000 square feet so the square's side length is 20 (√40,000).

The company charges $2.50 per foot, and the perimeter is 80 (20*4), so the  cost is $400 ($2.50 * 8).

Add on the $50 installation fee and the total cost is $450 ($400 + $50).
