for safety reasons, the triceratops needs to have steel fencing around the enclosure.
find the perimeter (in feet) to determine the amount of fencing.
perimeter =
using the perimeter, determine the cost of the steel fencing.
cost = $
fencing

• wooden fencing (per foot) $10.00
• steel fencing (per foot) $15.50
• electric fencing (per foot) $20.75

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate rectangle perimeter

The enclosure is a rectangle with length 66 ft and width 60 ft. The perimeter formula for a rectangle is $P = 2(l + w)$.
$P = 2(66 + 60) = 2(126) = 252$

Step2: Calculate fencing cost

Steel fencing costs $15.50 per foot. Multiply perimeter by cost per foot.
$\text{Cost} = 252 \times 15.50 = 3906$

Answer:

Perimeter = 252 feet
Cost = $3906
