A rectangular house measures 75ft by 50ft. Find the cost of installing gutters around the house if the cost is $4per foot?
P = 2L + 2W
Cost = 4(125 + 100)
To find the cost of installing gutters around the house, we need to calculate the total length of all four sides of the house.
The length of one of the shorter sides is 75 ft, and the length of one of the longer sides is 50 ft. Since there are two shorter sides and two longer sides, we will add them up to get the total length:
2 * 75 ft + 2 * 50 ft = 150 ft + 100 ft = 250 ft
So, the total length around the house is 250 ft.
Now, we can multiply the total length by the cost per foot to find the cost of installing gutters:
250 ft * $4/ft = $1000
Therefore, the cost of installing gutters around the house is $1000.
