Answer 1

Given: The dimension of a rectangular floor

`\begin{gathered} length=212feet \\ width=68feet \end{gathered}`

To Determine: The cost of tiling the floor if it cost $16 per square foot

Solution

The area of a rectangle can be calculated using the formula below

`Area(rectangle)=length* width`

Substitute the given dimension into the formula

`Area(floor)=212ft*68ft=14416ft^2`

Please note

`\begin{gathered} 1ft^2=16-dollars \\ 14416ft^2=(14416ft^2*16-dollars)/(1ft^2) \\ 14416ft^2=230656-dollars \end{gathered}`

Hence, to tile the rectangular floor, it will cost $230656
