You are building the wood trellis shown in the
figure so that you can grow a vine up the side of your home.
Write an expression for the total number of feet of wood needed
to build the trellis. Hint: Write separate expressions for the
number of feet of vertical pieces needed and the number of feet
of horizontal pieces needed. Then find the total number of feet
of wood needed if the trellis is 8 feet tall and 2 feet wide



Answer :

The total number of wood needed if the trellis is 8 feet tall and 2 feet wide is 16 feet

How to determine the total number

From the information given, we have;

Let the number of vertical pieces needed be x

Let the number of horizontal pieces needed be y

The expression for the total number of wood needed is given as;

Total number = x × y

Where;

  • x = 8 feet
  • y = 2 feet

Substitute into the expression;

Total number = 8 × 2

Total number = 16 meters

Thus, the total number of wood needed if the trellis is 8 feet tall and 2 feet wide is 16 feet
