Question

A room that is shaped like a trapezoid will be carpeted. The parallel sides of the room are 15 feet and 25 feet long. A segment perpendicular to these sides is 22 feet long.

The carpet will cost $5.20 per square foot.

How much will it cost to carpet the room?

Answer 1

A = (a+b)/2 h

A = (15+25)/2 * 22

A = 40/2 * 22

A = 440 square ft

440*5.2= $2,288 to carpet the room

Hope this helped
