1 answer:
The image of the floor dimensions is missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
$88.92
Step-by-step 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
