Question

The diagram shows the floor plan of a hotel lobby. The carpet that she wants to buy for that floor costs $3 per square foot. How much will it cost to carpet the lobby?

Answer 1

Answer: $ 1 710

Explanation:

Area of parallelogram = base x height = 27 x 20 = 540ft2

Area of triagne = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 3 x 20 = 30ft2

total = 540 + 30 = 570ft2

570 ft2 x $3 = $1 710
