The square root of 40,000 is 200 since 200x200=40,000. So since you need the perimeter of it the perimeter is 800ft, so you multiply 2.50x800 and you get $2,000, then you add the $50 installation fee and you get $2,050.00
Hope that helped! Also you can think of it into a word problem which helps to figure it out without messing up Good luck!
