    A beach volleyball court is 10 yards wide and 17 yards long. The rope used for the boundary line costs $2.00 per yard. How much would it cost to buy a new boundary line for the court?

    Approach:
    • A volleyball court is shaped as a rectangle.
    • And the boundary line runs on the perimeter of the rectangle.
    • So we want the perimeter of the rectangle
    Using our rectangle calculator with length = 17 and width = 10, we have:
    P = 54
