Someone please help my 5th grade dd math homework has stumped me!
Farmer Mead has 42 guinea pigs on the farm. She wants to build a rectangular pen . She must allow one square meter of area for each of the pigs. the fence cost 1$ per meter. Find four different rectangular pens that have EXACTLY the area needed for 42 guinea pigs.
1. what are the dimensions of each pen?
2. how much would each cost?
