Answer 1

Option A: The perimeter of the plot is given by P = 2 * (28 + 195) = 446 feet. The cost for the fence is 446 * $14 = $6,244.

Option B: The perimeter of the plot is still 446 feet. The cost for the fence is also 446 * $14 = $6,244.

Option C: The perimeter of the plot is divided into two equal sides of 223 feet each. The cost for each side of the fence is 223 * $14 = $3,122. The total cost for both sides is 2 * $3,122 = $6,244.

Therefore, all three options, A, B, and C, will cost $6,244 each.
