Question

Mario’s Restaurant is planning to tile the floor of their outdoor dining area, represented by the composite figure below. The tile costs $1.50 per square foot. How much should the restaurant plan to spend on tile to complete the job?

Answer 1

THE ANSWER IS .B 346.50

Explanation:

Answer 2

Cost of tiling the floor of the restaurant = $346.5

Explanation:

Since Mario's restaurant is in the shape of a composite figure.

Area of the composite figure = Area of the rectangle + Area of trapezoid

Area of the rectangle = 3 × 9

= 27 square feet

Area of the trapezoid =
`(1)/(2)(b_(1)+b_(2)).h`

Here
`b_(1)` and
`b_(2)` are the parallel sides of the trapezoid and 'h' is the distance between these sides.

Area of the trapezoid =
`(1)/(2)[12+(31-9)]* 12`

= 17 × 12

= 204 square feet

Total area of the floor = 27 + 204

= 231 square feet

Cost of the tiles = $1.5 per square feet

Total Cost of tiling the floor of Mario's restaurant will be,

= per square feet cost × Area of the floor

= 1.50 × 231

= $346.5
