Question

What will it cost to place baseboard around the region shown if the baseboard costs $0.55 per foot? No baseboard is needed for the 2-foot doorway.

Answer 1

It will cost $19.25 to place the baseboard around the region

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of feet that need the baseboard is the perimeter of the region minus 2 ft for the door.

10 ft + 7 ft + (13 - 2) ft + 3 ft + 4 ft = 35 ft

Now the cost is $0.55 per foot; therefore, for 35 ft the cost will be

`cost\text{ per foot }* number\text{ of feet}=(\$0.55)/(ft)*35ft=\$19.25`

Hence, the cost to place baseboard around the region will be $19.25.
