Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
From the image attached, the measurement of the roof is 5 m by 9 m on both sides. Hence:
Area of roof = 2 (5 * 9) = 90 m²
Since solar panels cost $4.00 per square meter, therefore:
Cost of solar panels = $4.00 per square meter * 90 m² = $360
The area of the front wall of the barn = (8 m * 7 m) + (1/2 * 8 m * 3 m) - (4 m * 4 m) = 52 m²
The area of the back wall of the barn = (8 m * 7 m) + (1/2 * 8 m * 3 m) = 68 m²
Area of each side wall of barn = 9 m * 7 m = 63 m²
Total area of wall = 52 m² + 68 m² + (2 * 63 m²) = 246 m²
Cost of shingles = $2.50 for each square meter * 246 m² = $615
Total cost of project = $615 + $360 = $975
