Answer 1

Total cost of patio = $560

Explanation:

Given:

Length of patio = 14 m

Width of patio = 8 m

Height of patio = 1 m

Cost of 1 m³ concrete = $5

Find:

Total cost of patio

Computation:

Volume of patio = l x b x h

Volume of patio = 14 x 8 x 1

Volume of patio = 112 m³

Total cost of patio = Volume of patio x $5

Total cost of patio = 112 x $5

Total cost of patio = $560
