Answer:

It will cost $79.38 to carpet the shape

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram of the parallelogram attached

Area of a parallelogram = Base * Height

Given

Base = 8.1m

Height = 3.5m

Area of the parallelogram = 8.1*3.5

Area of a parallelogram = 28.35m²

Since 1m² = $2.80

28.35m² = x

Cross multiply

x = 28.35 * 2.80

Hence it will cost $79.38 to carpet the shape
