Question

The rectangular entryway with a triangular design in the center, you are redoing the flooring. The shaded area will be covered with concrete costing $1.50 per square foot, and the white triangular area will be covered with tile costing $7.50 per square foot. What is the total cost of the project?

A) $3,250

B) $2,150

C) $4,750

D) $1,850

Answer 1

Without the specific dimensions of the rectangular entryway and the triangular design, it is not possible to calculate the total cost of the flooring project or choose the correct answer from the options provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The project in question involves flooring a rectangular entryway with a triangular design in the center. To calculate the total cost, you need to find the area of each section and multiply it by the respective cost per square foot. However, the area provided in the question is insufficient to determine the cost without the dimensions of the rectangular and triangular areas. Therefore, without the specific measurements of the entire rectangular entryway and the triangular design, it's not possible to accurately calculate the cost of the project or to choose the correct answer from the options provided.

For a hypothetical scenario where the total area of the floor is given as 12.0 m², with an uncertainty of 3 percent (approximately 0.4 m²), those figures would be used to calculate the cost if the areas for concrete and tile were specified. However, with the current information provided, we do not have the separate areas for the concrete and tile sections which are necessary to compute the costs at $1.50 and $7.50 per square foot respectively.
