What is the total cost of installing a fence around a rectangular lot that is 80 feet wide and 120 feet deep if the cost per linear foot is $3.25?

1,040
1,300
1,560
1,725

The correct answer is: 1,300

To determine the total cost of installing a fence around a rectangular lot, you first need to calculate the perimeter of the lot. The perimeter (P) of a rectangle can be calculated using the formula: P = 2 * (Width + Depth) For a lot that is 80 feet wide and 120 feet deep, the perimeter would be: P = 2 * (80 + 120) P = 2 * 200 P = 400 feet Next, to find the total cost of the fence, multiply the perimeter by the cost per linear foot: Total Cost = Perimeter * Cost per linear foot Total Cost = 400 feet * $3.25 = $1,300 This calculation shows that the total cost of installing the fence is $1,300, making that the correct answer.
