If a fencing costs 75 cents a foot ,what is the cost of a fence around a square lot,one whose sides measures 40 ft??
Plz help🙏🙏
A soft ball diamond is in the shape of a square .each side is 6
Metres long .what is the least distance covered by a player who makes home run???,plz help🙏
surely you know how to figure the perimeter (p) of a square.
Then, at 75 cents/foot, the cost is just 75p.
To make a home run, you have to run completely around the diamond (square). So, what is its perimeter? (and why is that the least distance?)
To find the cost of a fence around a square lot, we need to calculate the perimeter of the square and then multiply it by the cost per foot.
Given that each side of the square lot measures 40 ft, we know that all sides of the square are equal in length.
The perimeter of a square is found by multiplying the length of one side by 4 (since there are 4 sides in a square).
So, the perimeter of the square lot is:
Perimeter = 40 ft * 4 = 160 ft
Now, we can find the cost by multiplying the perimeter by the cost per foot, which is 75 cents:
Cost = Perimeter * Cost per foot
Cost = 160 ft * $0.75/ft
To simplify the calculation, we convert 75 cents to dollars by dividing it by 100:
Cost = 160 ft * ($0.75/100/ft)
Now, we can calculate the cost:
Cost = 160 ft * $0.0075/ft
Cost = $1.20
Therefore, the cost of a fence around a square lot with sides measuring 40 ft is $1.20.
