To calculate the cost of the fencing for Mr. Rogers' garden, we can use the formula given:
where:
is the length of the garden, is the width of the garden,- the cost of materials is $7 per yard.
Plugging in the values for length and width:
- Length (
) = 5 yards - Width (
) = 2 yards
Now, substituting these values into the formula:
Calculating each term:
Now, sum these results:
Thus, the total cost for the fencing material is $39.
