To find the cost for a garden that has a length of 4 yards and a width of 3 yards, we can substitute the values into the formula.
1.5(2l + 2w) = 1.5(2(4) + 2(3))
= 1.5(8 + 6)
= 1.5(14)
= 21
So the cost for a garden with a length of 4 yards and a width of 3 yards would be $21.
Gabrielle wants to put a border around her garden. It costs $1.50 per yard for the materials. Use 1.5(2l + 2w) where is the length and w is the width of her garden, to find the cost for a garden that has a length of 4 yards and a width of 3 yards. (1 point)
