Mr. Rodriguez has a vegetable garden that borders his house. He wants to put a fence around it. It cost seven dollars per yard for the materials evaluate 7+ 2WL is the length, and is the width of his garden to find the cost for a garden that has a length of 5 yards and a width of 2 yards would it be $16 $63 $39 or $98
To find the cost of the fence, we need to calculate the perimeter of the garden (since the fence goes all around the garden). The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W, where L is the length and W is the width.
Given that the length (L) is 5 yards and the width (W) is 2 yards, we can substitute these values into the formula:
P = 2(5) + 2(2) = 10 + 4 = 14 yards
Since the cost is $7 per yard, we can multiply the perimeter by the cost per yard to find the total cost:
Total cost = cost per yard × perimeter
Total cost = $7 × 14 = $98
Therefore, the cost for a garden that has a length of 5 yards and a width of 2 yards is $98.
