The cost of the fencing is $273

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Sam is planning to fence his back yard

- Every side of the yard except for the side along the house is to

be fenced

- The fencing costs $3/yd and can only be bought in whole yards

- The side of his yard opposite the house measures 35 yd

- The other two sides of his yard are 28 yd

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The length of the yard is the sum of the sides whose to be fenced

∴ The length of the yard = 28 + 35 + 28 = 91 yd

∵ The cost of the fencing is $3 per yard

∴ The cost = 91 * 3 = 273

∴ The cost of the fencing is $273
