Question

you need to create a fenced off region of land for cattle to graze. The grazing area must be a total of 500 square feet, surrounded by a fence, and in the shape of a regular polygon. Within this grazing area, the length of the apothem must be 10 feet long.Part I. Find the total perimeter of the grazing area.Part II. If the cost of the fence is $7.95 per linear foot, how much will it cost to place a fence around the entire grazing area?Part III. Suppose this grazing area is of an industrial grazing area for a major industry farm. What is the total cost to build a fence around the entire land

Answer 1

(land of the large scale Farm ?) this is the last part of the question

Answer 2

hi!!

Answer 3

i suck at geometry, but i have an idea

Answer 4

im bad at it to

Answer 5

the area of a polygon is \[A=\text{perimeter}\times \text{apothem}\div2\]

Answer 6

you know \[A=500\] and apothem = 10\

Answer 7

\[500=\frac{P\times 10}{2}\]

Answer 8

you can solve for the perimeter

Answer 9

you should get that the perimeter is \(100\) from the algebra

Answer 10

once you get that, part 2 is just a multiplication

Answer 11

you saying part 2 i should get 100

Answer 12

i got part 1 now i need help with part 2 and 3

Answer 13

part 1 is 100, the perimeter is 100

Answer 14

do i do 100 times 7.95

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

what do u suggest i do for part 3
