9 can be enclosed for the least cost of boards? would you need to enclose the rink?

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, the boards are on the perimeter of the ice rink with dimensiosn 20 meters times 60 meters. So, its perimeter is

If each board is 2.0 meter long, that means we can divide to find the total number of boards we can have on the ice rink:

Therefore, with those dimensions, we can have 80 boards surrounding the ice rink.
