The total cost of canvas to make the sail is $450
Explanation:
Given:
Base, b = 5m
Height, h = 10m
Cost of canvas = $18 per meter square
Total cost of canvas = ?
In such case we need to find the area of the sail.
Assuming the sail to be right angle triangle, the area will be
[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2}XbXh\\ \\A = \frac{1}{2} X 10 X 5\\\\A = 25m^2[/tex]
Total cost of canvas = 25 X $18
= $450
Therefore, total cost of canvas to make the sail is $450
