A fencing company charges $22per foot to install a wood fence around a rectangular pool area that is 20 feet wide and 38 feet long? pls help me

We will need to find the perimeter here, since in this context we’re talking about fencing around a rectangular pool. The formula for perimeter is P = 2L + 2W. The L and W can stand for length/width which is the same as wide/long in this problem. I will now plug in the numbers. P = 2(38) + 2(20) which gives us 76 + 40. 76 + 40 is 116. Therefore, the perimeter is 116 ft.

I know that the fencing company charges $22 per foot. I can multiply 116 x 22 to give me $2552. The answer is $2552.
