How much will it cost to fence in a field that is 12 feet long and 42 feet wide with fence that cost $10 a yard?

A $180

B $360

C $504

D $540

Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

1 yard = 3 feet

Thus, Length of the field = 12 feet

= 4 yard

Width of the field = 42 feet

= 42/3 yard

= 14 yard

Now, Total length of the fence = (2*4) + (2*14) yards
