Use conversions to solve the problem. Jane wants to edge her garden with stone. All sides are equal. The stone costs ​$6 per yard. What is the perimeter of the​ garden? How much will it cost to buy the edging she ​needs?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Perimeter: [tex]p = 4\cdot l[/tex], Total costs: [tex]C = 24\cdot l[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The garden has a square form. Let be [tex]l[/tex] the length of any of the sides, measured in yards. The perimeter of the garden, measured in yards, is:

[tex]p = 4\cdot l[/tex]

Now, perimeter has a length unit and total costs of edging the garden, measured in US dollar, is:

[tex]C = \left(6\,\frac{USD}{yard} \right)\cdot 4\cdot l[/tex]

[tex]C = 24\cdot l[/tex]
