Question

Sal is tiling his entryway. The floor plan is drawn on a unit grid. Each unit length represents 1 foot. Tile costs $2.25 per square foot. How much will Sal pay to tile his entryway?

Answer 1

110.25

Explanation:

To find the area, we at a divide the shape into two parts approximately the middle line. The top shape is a trapezoid of base length 7 feet and height 6 feet, while the bottom shape is a parallelogram with one side equal to 4 feet.

Area of trapezoid = (7 + 4)/2 x 6

Area of trapezoid = 33 sq ft

Area of parallelogram = 4 x 4

Area of parallelogram = 16 sq ft

Total area = 49 sq ft

Cost = 2.25 x 49

Cost = $110.25

Answer 2

To find the area, we divide the shape into two parts at approximately the middle line. The top shape is a trapezoid of base length 7 feet and height 6 feet, while the bottom shape is a parallelogram with one side equal to 4 feet.

Area of trapezoid = (7 + 4)/2 x 6
Area of trapezoid = 33 sq ft

Area of parallelogram = 4 x 4
Area of parallelogram = 16 sq ft

Total area = 49 sq ft

Cost = 2.25 x 49
Cost = $110.25
