A horse's paddock is triangular with a height of 76 ft and sides of 114 ft, 102 ft, and 53 ft. What is the cost of fencing around the paddock if the fencing costs $5.40 per ft?

$1452.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the cost of fencing round a triangular paddock, we obtain the perimeter. The perimeter of a triangle is given as :

Perimeter = a + b + c ; where a, b and c are the length of the three sides of the triangle.

The perimeter of the paddock in this scenario is :

(114 + 102 + 53) feets = 269 feets ; which are the lengths of the 3 sides of the triangular paddock.

Painting Cost per feet = $5.40

Cost per feet * number of feets

$5.40 * 269

= $1452.6

step-by-step explanation:

"exterior angles = 360 / number of sides.

60 = 360 / sides

sides = 360 / 60

sides = 6"
