Solution

To find the cost of fencing the garden, we first need to find the perimeter of the garden.

Given that the area of the garden is 117 m^2 and the breadth is 9 m, we can find the length of the garden using the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is length x breadth.

So, length = Area / Breadth = 117 m^2 / 9 m = 13 m.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length + breadth).

So, the perimeter of the garden = 2(13 m + 9 m) = 44 m.

The cost of fencing the garden is $42 per metre.

So, the total cost to fence the garden = 44 m x 42/m=42/m = 1848.
