Answer 1

The image of the floor dimensions is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

$88.92

Explanation:

Looking at the attached floor plan, we have to divide it into two parts to solve easily.

To get the smaller side of the bigger triangle; 3 - 0.6 = 2.4m

Thus,bigger triangle measures; 3.6m x 2.4m

For the smaller triangle, dimensions are; 0.6m x 1.2m

Area of bigger triangle = 3.6 × 2.4 = 8.64 m²

Area of smaller triangle = 0.6 × 1.2 = 0.72 m²

Total area = 8.64 + 0.72 = 9.36 m²

Since the carpet costs $9.50 per sq.m.

Thus;

Total spent for wall to wall carpet is = 9.36 × 9.5 = $88.92
