A flowerbed is 3 3/4 meters long and 2 meters wide. Uncle James wants to build a border around the flowerbed. The width of the border is 1/2 meter. The cost of building the border is $20 per square meter. How much does Uncle James have to pay to have the border built.
i want the answer nowok
You need the area of the border.
Area of boarder = (4.75)(3) - (3.75)(26.75) = 6.75 m^2
at $20 per m^2, how much would that be ?
make a sketch to see why I added 1 m to the length and width.
