Question

The parallelogram below is being covered with carpet. The carpet is priced at $2.80 per square meter. How much will it cost to carpet the shape?

Answer 1

Answer:

$79.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram of the question attached

Area of the parallelogram = Base * Height

Given

Base = 8.1m

Height = 3.5m

Area of the parallelogram = 8.1 * 3.5

Area of the parallelogram = 28.35m²

If the carpet is priced at $2.80 per square meter, then;

1m² = $2.80

28.35m² = x

x = 28.35 * 2.80

x = $79.38

Hence the cost of the carpet is $79.38
