Each dimension of a larger rectangular field is 4.5 times greater than a smaller rectangular field. if it costs $176 to seed the smaller field, how much would it cost to seed the larger field with the same type of seeds?

Since the cost of seeding the field is proportional to the area of the field. Then we could calculate the cost of seeding the larger field by scaling up the cost of seeding the smaller field.

The area of the larger field is (4.5)(4.5) = 20.25 times the area of the smaller field, and so the cost of feeding should be 20.25 times.

Therefore, cost = 20.25(176) = $3564.

Answer:

$4034.40

step-by-step explanation:

the perimeter of the field is the sum of the lengths of the four sides:

47 yd + 158 yd + 47 yd + 158 yd = 410 yd

the cost of 3 ft (1 yd) of fence is 3×$3.28 = $9.84.

so the cost of jake's wood perimeter fance is

(410 yd) × ($9.84 /yd) = $4034.40
