A farmer needs to build a goat pen. The pen will be 6 yards wide and 14 yards long. The fencing material costs $4.00 per yard. How much will it cost to buy enough fencing material to build the goat pen?

Respuesta :

Answer: it will cost $336 to buy enough fencing material to build the goat pen.

Step-by-step explanation:

The goat pen is rectangular.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The pen will be 6 yards wide and 14 yards long. It means that the area of the pen is

6 × 14 = 84 yard²

The fencing material costs $4.00 per yard. Therefore, the amount that it will cost to buy enough fencing material to build the goat pen is

84 × 4 = $336
