To find the cost for the garden, we first need to calculate the perimeter.
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is: P = 2l + 2w.
For the given garden with a length of 5 yards and width of 2 yards, the perimeter is:
P = 2(5) + 2(2) = 10 + 4 = 14 yards.
Next, we multiply the perimeter by the cost per yard:
14 yards * $7/yard = $98.
Therefore, the correct answer is $98.
Mr. Rodriguez has a vegetable garden that borders his house. He wants to put a fence around it. It costs $7 per yard for the materials. Evaluate 7(l + 2w), where l is the length and w is the width of his garden, to find the cost for a garden that has a length of 5 yards and a width of 2 yards.(1 point)
