Two interior decorating teams are competing in a kitchen remodel competition. Their remodels are graded on the following categor
ies, each worth 18 points; time to complete, design, and total cost. Time to complete is worth 75% of their final score, design is 15%, and total cost is 10%. Whoever has the largest final score wins $150,000. Suppose Team A received 15 points for time to complete, 9 points for design, and 14 points for total cost. Suppose Team B received 17 points for time to complete, 7 points for design, and 13 points for total cost. Using technology, determine which team won the competition.
First, find the length L^2+W^2=D^2 )L for length, W for width, D for diagonal) L^2=25^2-15^2=625-225=400 L=20 A=1/2 of L*W= (1/2)*20*15=150 square inches
