Respuesta :

From.the calculated area and perimeter of the field, it will cost the farmer $475740 to fence and seed the pasture.

What is the area of the field?

The area of the field is calculated as follows:

Area of square = 450 ft × 450 ft = 202500 square feet

Area of triangle = (450 ft × 120 ft)/2 = 27000 square feet

Area of field = 229500 square feet

Cost of seeding the field = 229500 × $2 = $459000

Perimeter of the field = 450 + 450 + 450 + 255 + 255 = 1860 ft

1 ft = 1/3 yard

1860 ft = 1860 × 1/3 yards = 620 yards

Cost of fencing = 620 × $27 = $16740

Total cost of seeding and fencing = $475200

Therefore, it will cost the farmer $475740 to fence and seed the pasture.
