Question

find the cost of carpeting the following rectangular rooms:• Dimensions: 7.5m x 3.5m; Cost = $12.96/m^2• Dimensions: 17 yd x 10yd;. Cost = $27/yd^2

Answer 1

For the given rectangular rooms, we will find the area then multiply the area by the cost to find the total cost.

1) Dimensions: 7.5m x 3.5m; Cost = $12.96/m^2

So, area of the room =

`7.5*3.5=26.25m^2`

The cost will be =

`26.25*12.96=\$340.2`

so, the total cost = $340.2

2) Dimensions: 17 yd x 10yd;. Cost = $27/yd^2​

So, the area of the room =

`17*10=170\text{ yd\textasciicircum{}2}`

The cost will be =

`170*27=4590`

So, the total cost = $4,590
