First, we need to find the area of the given rectangle. It is given by


\begin{gathered} A=\text{ lenght}* wide \\ A=13*7 \\ A=91ft^2 \end{gathered}

Since 1 square feet cost $8, then the total cost is the prodcut of the area by $8. So, we have


\begin{gathered} \text{ Total cost = area x \$8} \\ \text{ Total cost = }91*8 \\ \text{ Total cost = \$728} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is option D.
