This is the concept of application of geometry and financial mathematics; To calculate for the total cost of the carpet we proceed as follows;
Total cost=[area of the carpet]*[price per square yard]
area of carpet is given by:
Area=πr^2
where;
radius,r=6 yeards
=π*6^2
=113.1 square yards
therefore the price of the carpet will be:
113.1*14
=$1,583.4
To find the area of a rectangle, multiple the width by the length.
(And simply the fractions for a simpler equation)
For piece A:
The length 1 and 3/5 can be turned into an improper fraction by multiplying 1 by the denominator (5) and adding it to the numerator (3). 1 and 3/5 = 8/5
(3/4) • (8/5) = area
Multiple the numerators with each other and the denominators with each other (3 times 8 = 24) (4 times 5 = 20)
The area of piece A is 24/20
If you do the same for piece B:
(2/5) • (21/8) = area
The answer is 42/40
Um -1/3(24+3)-1 = -10
So -10 is the answer
