Answer:
$80.48
Attached is the image of the entry way
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that each unit length represents 1 foot.
To find the area of the shape shown in the attached image, we need to divide the shape into two parts at about 4 ft from the bottom.
The top shape is a trapezoid of base length 4 ft, top length 7 ftand height 5 ft, while the bottom shape is a parallelogram with one side equal to 4 ft and height 4 ft
Area of a Trapezium = 1/2 × (a+b)h
a = 4ft, b= 7ft, h = 5ft
Substituting the values;
Area of trapezoid = 1/2 × (7 + 4)x 5
Area of trapezoid = 27.5 ft^2
Area of a parallelogram = length × height
Length = 4 ft, height = 4 ft
Substituting the values;
Area of parallelogram = 4 x 4
Area of parallelogram = 16 ft^2
Total area = area of trapezium + parallelogram
Total area = 27.5 + 16 = 43.5 ft^2
Cost per square foot = $ 1.85
Total cost = cost per square foot × area
Total cost = $1.85 per square foot × 43.5ft^2
Total Cost = $80.48
Answer:
Sal will pay $ 80.48 to tile his entryway.
Step-by-step explanation:
Separate the entryway into simpler shapes: a trapezoid and a parallelogram.
Find the area of the simpler figures. Count units to find the dimensions.
Trapezoid
A = 1/ 2
h(b₁ + b₂)
A = 1/ 2
(5)(4 + 7)
A = 1/ 2
(5)(11)
A = 27.5
The area of the trapezoid is 27.5 ft
2 .
Parallelogram
A = bh
A = 4 · 4
A = 16
The area of the parallelogram is 16 ft
2 .
Find the area of the entryway.
A = 27.5 + 16
A = 43.5
The area of the entryway is 43.5 ft
2 .
Calculate how much Sal will pay to tile his entryway.
Area · Cost per foot = Total Cost
43.5 · $1.95 = $84.83
Sal will pay $84.83 to tile his entryway.
