The cost of placing the baseboard around the region is $10.
In order to determine the cost of placing a baseboard around the region, the distance round the region has to be determined first. The distance round the region is known as perimeter. After the perimeter has been determined, the cost per foot would be multiplied with the total perimeter of the region.
The perimeter of the region can be determined by calculating the distance round the region.
Perimeter round the region = 5 + 8 + (17 - 8) + 3 + (17 - 2) = 40 feet
Total cost = perimeter x cost per foot
40 x 0.25 = $10
