__//**Area and Perimeter Project:**//__ **//Wapiti Contractors Bid (Area & Perimeter)//**

You are a construction company and you will be bidding on a job. You will be divided into three subcontracting groups which will consist of a flooring crew, a painting crew and a fencing crew. Each group will come up with a price after determining how much material including the time it will take to complete the job (the time can be estimated). Your group must recognize if you will need to use area or perimeter, how you will take the measurements and how much time the job might take. From this you will be able to calculate the cost and offer the bid. You will present this to me and must show all of your math work and explain all of your strategies used in writing.

**//__Important Information:__//**


 * 1) The room that the painting crew will have to paint is 5 times the size of our classroom. You must determine how many gallons of primer/paint you will need. You must do one coat of primer and two coats of paint.
 * 2) The flooring crew will not only put a “wood” floor in this same room, but also in another room that is 3 times the size of our classroom. We will assume that the wood is all the same size.
 * 3) The yard that the fencing crew will work with is 7 times the size of our classroom. You must determine how much fencing you will need and then figure out how many gallons of stain you will need to stain both sides of the fence (one coat).[[file:c-i-14.pdf]]
