A farmer has a garden shaped into an isosceles triangle. Its side is 7m. He needs to enclose the perimeter, using copper wires, in order to avoid undesirable incidents. Each meter of copper wire cost 2£. How much does he need to pay to secure his garden?

Each side of the triangle is 7 meters, because it is an isosceles triangle. P= perimeterP = 7 +7 +7 P= 21 meters
Each meter of copper wire costs 2 £ so,
Total cost= Perimeter in meters * Cost per meterTotal cost= 21* 2Total cost= 42£
