Zoo Project Costs

Objective:  I can calculate the cost of building my zoo through using the 4 operations and my understanding of area and perimeter.

First you will need to find the area and perimeter of each enclosure. You will use the prices below to calculate the cost of each enclosure in meters.

Afterwards, you will need to add vegetation both inside and outside your enclosures so the animals feel comfortable and your zoo looks attractive. You will need to calculate these costs using square meters costs.

Record all your calculations on your google spreadsheet.
