Agarden is in the shape of a square with a perimeter of 64 feet. the garden is surrounded by two fences. one fence is around the perimeter of the garden, whereas the second fence is 2 feet from the first fence on the outside. if the material used to build the two fences is $ 1.17 per foot, what was the total cost of the fences?

The perimeter of a square is the sum of its sides and they are all equal, so to obtain the length of each of them we divide the perimeter of the first fence between 4:

 P1= 64 feet/4 sides

 P1= 16 feet

 Then, the length of each side of the second fence will increase 2 feet at each end, as shown in the figure. We have then that the perimeter of the second fence is:

 P2 = 20 feet x 4 sides

 P2 = 80 feet

 The sum of the perimeters of both fences is:

 PT = P1 + P2

 PT = 64 feet + 80 feet

 PT = 144 feet

 Total cost = 1.17 $ x 144 feet

 Total cost = 168.48 $

 The total cost of the fences was $ 168.48

step-by-step explanation:

no of data

divide by no of mode

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
